Kaltura Captioning Self-Service
Captioning video content is incredibly important. Captions allow for students with hearing impairments to get the same information from a video that non-hearing impaired students get.

There are currently two methods of requesting captions for Kaltura video content. The first method is by filling out a Caption Request Form . This form will be sent to the Innovations in Learning team who will send the Kaltura video for captioning. This method of captioning will not only provide the video captions, but will also provide a downloadable transcript. The negative to this method is that captions are a little more difficult to edit if there are spelling errors or misinformation.

The second method of requesting video captions is by using requesting captions directly through My Media in Canvas. Each My Media user has the ability to request captions for Kaltura videos by going to the video that needs captions, clicking on Actions, and then choosing Order Captions. This method of captioning will only provide captions, but not a transcript (yet). These captions are also easily edited by the individual user. For detailed instructions on how to request your own captions via My Media, please click here .
Kaltura MediaSpace Go (KMS Go) App
Kaltura users can now access media through the brand new Kaltura MediaSpace Go app for mobile devices. This "Go" app should be used in place of the old, outdated Kaltura app.

The Kaltura MediaSpace Go app is robust enough to support many of the features you have access to through the website, including quizzing. You can record media directly from the app and it will seamlessly upload into your media gallery.

For information on downloading the app on your device, please visit the System KnowledgeBase .
Unable to Attend the OktoberBest Showcase? Watch a Recording Now!
Innovations in Learning has created a new YouTube channel for any recorded events hosted by the team. If you miss an event you wanted to attend, check the YouTube channel! The event you're looking for was likely recorded.

If you weren't able to attend OktoberBest, a faculty showcase of best practices on campus, check out the recording below! There were great presentations on the tools Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, Kaltura, and Qualtrics, as well as a fascinating look at how students collect audio waves from bats.
Canvas Tip: "Undelete" Gets Content Back
If you find yourself in a panic after accidentally deleting something from your Canvas course you didn't mean to, don't worry! Canvas has a built-in "undelete" feature that should save you from many headaches in the future.

In the URL of your course you'll see a number string (ex: courses/232043). That's your course code. If you simply modify the URL by adding /undelete to the end of the chain (courses/232043/undelete), a Canvas page will load all of the deleted items from your course.

You can click on any of these items and restore them within your course. Here's a resource from the Canvas Community with more information.
Coming Soon: Innovations in Learning Hosting First Friday in December!
The Innovations in Learning team will be sponsoring First Friday on December 6th! Keep an eye out for more communication in the coming month about the event. We'll have all of our video studio technology available for you to play around with and explore. Looking forward to seeing you there!
