• The self-study of students becomes more varied: they do not only have to read articles, but are also stimulated by video and/or audio.
• By encouraging students to seek more depth in the material at home using knowledge clips or audio recordings, there is more time in lectures for discussions or other assignments. This setup is called Flipping the classroom^{1 2}.
• Kaltura allows you to add media to Canvas without taking up storage data.
• Kaltura Express Capture allows you to quickly record clips and edit and/or share them immediately.

• You cannot replace contact teaching with clips; live contact between the students and you, and the students among themselves, is very important for student engagement and therefore study success.
• It is not practical to use Kaltura Express Capture to make long recordings. It can take a long time to save the file in Canvas, and you need a stable internet connection. Also, the file is not on your computer. If you want to record a long video, it’s better to do it on your computer/laptop and upload the file in Canvas later.

• Read Kaltura’s terms of use here.
• Always think carefully about the integration of videos and audio recordings in your teaching: how do you incorporate them into the subject or the curriculum? The Teaching & Learning Centre of your faculty will be happy to think along with you.
• Instead of video fragments, audio fragments also offer many possibilities for your teaching:
  • You can assign students to make a podcast. Read this article about how students can create their own podcast.
  • You can record whole podcast episodes but also shorter fragments:
    • To introduce a guest speaker, lecture, course, activity, etc.;
    • To conclude a lecture, activity, etc.;
    • For feedback;
    • For instruction and guidance;
    • As a replacement for/complement to lecture or literature.
