Kaltura Drexel Streams -- Video Assignments or Discussion Board Posts in Bb Learn

Introduction

Because Kaltura is embedded in Bb Learn, and available to students in Discussion Board posts or Assignment submissions in Bb Learn, it easily lends itself to creating assignments where you want students to record videos, and they can submit this using Discussion Board post replies or Assignment submissions.

Below is how to set this up for them, and a link to provide students to explain how they do the assignment.

Instructions using Discussion Board (Forums or Weeks)

Just have students embed videos they create into Discussion Board posts using the Kaltura tool,

or copy/pasting a link from a video they uploaded to Drexel Streams into a Discussion Board post.

You can set 1 or more Discussion Board forums on the Discussion Board page to be gradeable.

Use Grade by Forum when editing DB options.

You have to edit the options for each forum individually. :-(

If you are not sure how to create or edit a Discussion Board forum, in a Week or content area or otherwise, see:
Once you have a Discussion Board assignment created,
send the following instructions to your students,
and just direct them to use the Kaltura tool to post or reply there with their video.

Instructions using Bb Learn Assignments

Just have students embed videos when they click the Bb Learn Assignment submission link.

They do NOT upload a file as an attachment directly to the post or in the reply!!! They need to use Kaltura.

Once you have a Bb Learn assignment created,
send the following instructions to your students,
and just direct them to use the Kaltura tool to post or reply there with their video.
