There are two ways to make media available to students in your Canvas course: embedding individual pieces of media in multiple locations within course pages, discussions, and other areas of your course, or uploading multiple media items to a single location within your Course Media Gallery.

Kaltura’s interactive video quizzes and video assignments provide new ways to incorporate active-learning and assessment strategies into your Canvas course. Kaltura’s analytics will provide you with quick snapshots of how your students are interacting with your media, including information such as number of visits, plays, drop off rates, and more, while also allowing you to drill-down to more specific information about each student’s activity.

Kaltura Quick Start Guide For Students
If you want to collaborate with other faculty, staff, or students to create, manage, and publish media, there are two ways to accomplish this using Kaltura. To collaborate on a collection of content (multiple media items), you’ll use channels in MediaSpace and grant people access to edit or publish all media within a given channel. To collaborate on an individual piece of media, you’ll edit the media details to grant additional people access to edit or publish only that piece of content.
If you frequently work with others to create and edit videos (e.g. co-teachers, instructional designers), MediaSpace will allow you to create channels, add members, and use collaboration settings to permit members to edit or publish any media in the channel and upload additional media as-needed.

You can add co-publishers to any piece of media you own to allow them to use the media in their own courses or channels, or add co-editors to a piece of media to allow them to edit the media content and its details, including metadata and closed captions. These options may be useful for team-teaching, sharing a few resources among a small group of people, or collaboratively producing a given piece of media with another person on an ad-hoc basis.
