Survey: 1 in 4 Students Say There's Not Enough Technology in the Classroom

Last month, Campus Technology ran an interesting article based on a survey conducted by Barnes & Noble College, siting that 1 in 4 students feel there is insufficient technology in their college classrooms.

"23 percent of college students said classroom technology use at their school is insufficient. And 60 percent said that having more classroom technology would improve their learning experience. The survey, conducted by Barnes & Noble College , polled more than 500 undergraduate and graduate students at the company's partner schools. Survey questions focused on students' classroom experience as well as their views on testing and instructional feedback."

What do you think? Do you feel as though technology is utilized effectively in your classrooms, or would you prefer more or less tech? Read the full article here.

Kaltura Capture replaces Kaltura MediaSpace

With the Kaltura transition, users will no longer create new Kaltura videos by going through D2L or the Kaltura MediaSpace link on the UWP logins page.

All Kaltura videos will be made directly through the My Media option in Canvas (located under Account on the black navigation bar).

Along with this change, users must update the Kaltura desktop recording software. To do this, you can uninstall the Kaltura CaptureSpace desktop recorder from your device. If you're not sure which version you have, it won't hurt to uninstall the software just in case.

Once uninstalled, you can click on My Media under your profile picture in Canvas. Then you can click on Add New -> Kaltura Capture. This will give you the option to download the latest desktop recorder. The recorder image will become the blue camera image on the left, rather than the multi-colored firework that Kaltura used previously.
