Kaltura – How do I add Kaltura content to my Canvas course?


There are two Kaltura integrations in Rutgers Canvas. Kaltura Browse-search-embed allows users to embed Kaltura media within native Canvas content that is created with the Rich Content Editor (RCE). The RCE is available for instructors in Classic Quizzes, New Quizzes, AnnouncementsPagesAssignmentsDiscussions, and Syllabus; for students, the RCE is available in Discussion responses, Assignment submissions, and tools in Group spaces such as group Pages, group Announcements, and group Discussions. Kaltura Media Gallery provides a central location for all media shared to a central repository (without context) in your course site. This article provides directions to share your Kaltura media within the context of your course via Browse-Search-Embed.
