(This is a reprise of an IT Pro Forum session that didn't get recorded, and several people have asked about a capture of this session in particular, so Glen, Ed, and Carl kindly agreed to rerun it!)
Technical debt awareness is an essential aspect of all information technology work. We cover the sources of technical debt, how to pay the debt, how to avoid the debt, and strategies to minimize these costs to the University.
Learning Outcome: We cover the sources of technical debt, how to pay the debt, how to avoid the debt, and approaches that minimize technical debt costs by design.The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
