Kaltura is an online video platform integrated into Canvas. It’s a simple tool that you can use to upload and record lectures and create interactive knowledge clips. You can record your camera as well as your screen, cut out parts you don’t like, and even add questions to test your student’s understanding of the clips. You can store videos, collaborate on them with your colleagues, and share them in your Canvas course.

Assessment with Kaltura

With Kaltura, you can add quizzes to your knowledge clips, which you can use to test students’ understanding of the clips. Within Kaltura’s video editor, you will find a menu on the left, in which you can choose between ‘editor’, ‘hotspots’, and ‘quiz’. When you select ‘quiz’, you will be able to add questions to your knowledge clip at the moments at which you want a question to be asked. For a more detailed guide, you can click on the Tutorials tab of this Canvas page.

These video quizzes are meant for formative assessment. It is possible to grade the knowledge clip assignment, but open questions cannot be checked.
