December 5, 2023
Whatever the size of the unit, academic EOs can support excellence among faculty members via an infrastructure that systematically identifies, selects, and successfully nominates colleagues for department, disciplinary, college, and campus recognitions, national academy memberships, and other highly prestigious awards. We will discuss strategies, best practices, and resources to support units to enhance their capacity to nominate faculty members for awards.

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.
