On Monday October 24th we held the official launch and reception of Siebel Center for Design's gallery mural "Coalescing Currents" featuring the work of Dr. Juan Salamanca, in collaboration with Kristen Wilson from the University Library. SCD commissioned this augmented reality-enhanced data visualization to illustrate the rich history of multidisciplinary collaborations at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The opening included a panel discussion from several faculty members whose work is represented in the mural, including Emma Mercier, Laura Chiaramonte, Tim Fan, and Ujjal Mukherjee, along with an introduction from our Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation Susan Martinis.
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.
