Bb Collaborate Ultra -- Putting Links for Recordings in Content Areas

IMPORTANT - ONLY FOR USE IN CURRENT QUARTER!!!

OR.. the quarter in which the class was taught!

Bb Collaborate Ultra recordings DO NOT COPY BETWEEN Bb Learn course sections when Bb Learn Admins (like Mike Galloway) copy course materials.

But you can download the recordings and use Kaltura Drexel Streams to upload the recordings again to your next quarter's Bb Learn course section (when it's available to you). See section below.

Re-Use of Recordings After Current Quarter

OR... AFTER the quarter in which the class was taught!

Once you add any video using Kaltura Drexel Streams, the videos do then copy over during course copy. So you won't have to add them again.

1. Download the desired recording. For how to access or download recordings from Bb Collaborate Ultra, see below:

2. Upload the recording to Kaltura Drexel Streams. For how to add video to a Bb Learn course section using Kaltura Drexel Streams, see below.

*This allows you to have links last longer than 1 quarter, BUT the links could break in 1-3 years and it is unclear whether repair will be possible. Because of this, you MUST back up these recordings AND make sure that Mike Galloway (CCI Technology Services Manager) has access to the recordings.

  7. If you'd like to enable captioning on the recording, make sure that "Enable captions" is turned on. Note: the accuracy is not good enough for students who need special accommodations to use without it being reviewed by Drexel's Disabilities Resources office first. This is usually a paid service.
