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.
Book A Session in Our New Video Studio!
Innovations in Learning has been busy this summer creating a multimedia room for instructional use. The room features high-end camera equipment and video editing software. The suite is designed for recording lectures and welcome videos.

In addition to the camera and editing equipment, Innovations also purchased a glass light board. This technology allows instructors to demo on the board while also lecturing to students. The camera's technology flips the image on the board so it's readable both to the instructor writing and the students watching the video.

Check out our quick preview, and email Innovations@uwp.edu if you're interested in learning more about the board or booking some recording time over the summer!

The space is also available for high-end welcome videos and other lecture captures, with or without the glass light board.
Survey: Students Choosing Online Programs Closer to Home
Campus Technology featured an interesting survey last month discussing how students are now taking online courses closer to where they live.
"In spite of the notion that students could conceivably take online courses from an institution anywhere in the world, two-thirds stick close to home — choosing a college or university within 50 miles of where they live. In fact, 44 percent selected a school within 25 miles of their homes. And the share of students enrolling in a school more than 100 miles from home fell from 37 percent in 2014 to 15 percent in 2019."

Canvas Tier 1 Support available 24/7
Instructors, please remember that Canvas Tier 1 Support is available 24/7, 365 days a year to answer any questions you may have about the learning management system.

Our administrative rights have changed in the migration from D2L to Canvas, so a lot of what we were able to assist with in the past has been limited.

Tier 1 Support is available through the Help menu on the black navigation bar within Canvas. You have the option to chat (instant message), call, or email Tier 1 Support.

Support is also available for your students, so please direct your students to Tier 1 Support if they have any questions or need assistance.
