@Ron, Camtasia videos certainly can be uploaded to Kaltura. It will ingest a wide variety of media files, though it can struggle with files that exceed 2GB.

Kaltura is better if you don’t want your videos publicly viewable, makes it much easier for college staff to provide accommodations if needed, and is governed by a college contract rather than the public youtube license. YouTube is a fine choice and does what Kaltura does – creates multiple playback files for different devices and bandwidth, and it clearly does it well. But your content is governed by YouTube’s license.

Thanks for all the insight into present and upcoming updates, Andy! Can you remind me of the advantage(s) of Kaltura vs creating videos in Camtasia and uploading them to Youtube? Also, can Camtasia videos be uploaded to Kaltura?

Wow – so many great updates! As always, your team is awesome!

I’d love to try out the Word Count feature for Discussion posts. Please let me know how we can get that going!

Thanks, and keep up the excellent work!

Wow — so many great changes. Thanks for the easy-to-read (and digest) format. The “how to” embedded videos are helpful.

While I admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed, I really appreciate your group’s work in transitioning us remote (not truly on-line) faculty folk to seeing light at the end and sensing some comfort ahead. All the opportunities to learn new and exciting tools gives me a real feeling of support from IT. Kudos!
