DLC Spring 2024 Class Projects/Diane Forsyth
Project Details
This project is designed to help students within Professor Forsyth's course to download and use Kaltura Capture as you record video responses to Exam questions you answered incorrectly to receive partial credit for correctly answering the questions in your videos. In this resource you will learn all about the tool we will be using, Kaltura Capture, to record your screen, you, and audio responses to these questions and submit these to an assignment submission folder within D2L Brightspace. The steps involved to complete your recording with Kaltura Capture are provided below.

- Select Kaltura Capture from the Add New menu (this can be found in the top right corner of the page.).
- Two options for downloading Kaltura Capture will be listed (PC and Mac) and after clicking on the appropriate version you will be asked to install the software video setup wizard.

Recording and Editing in Kaltura Capture
The following directions explain how to deactivate the screen recording if you are not required to use this, select the webcam, and check your microphone.

Next, click on this gray icon again it will activate the screen recorder when you hit the Record button. In the context menu below to the Screen button, you can select a specific screen if you have multiple monitors connected to your laptop.
3. The recorder will detect any cameras connected to your computer and show this in an image thumbnail.
4. If you are using a microphone other than your computers built-in device, you will need to select it from the list below the microphone icon.
5. Once you have the desired setting you can hit the red record button and the recorder will give you a 3...2...1 count down. Once recording you will have a recorder that gives you the time of your recording along with digital ink functionality for annotating on your screen (see clip below for an expanded view of this menu).
Note: During your recording, you are able to Pause the video. You can also Cancel the recording by clicking on the X in the recorder and start over if needed. When you are done recording, select Stop button (White box in the recorder) and you will be asked if you want to stop and you should select Yes, Stop it.
6. Next, you will see a preview window where you can playback your video, provide a descriptive title, save, and then select Save and Upload button. This step saves a copy of your video locally on your computer and a version is uploaded to your MediaSpace account.
7. Once the process is completed, you can select the link within the window and go into MediaSpace to view your recording. Do not copy this link to share your video. It is not the link to your recording. It may take a few minutes for your video to appear in MediaSpace. (If it has been more than 5 minutes and your video has not appeared in MediaSpace, try refreshing your page or logging back in.)
