Documentation:Kaltura/Contribute to the Faculty Repository (How to)
|
The following feature is for users with instructor access only. |
Kaltura in Connect provides an easy method for instructors to share media with the UBC community by contributing a video to the Faculty Repository. This is the centralized location that can be accessed by any user who is an instructor in a course at UBC.
The Faculty Repository is useful when you would like to share a video across campus to other faculty members, or other faculty that is not in your course but would like to reuse the video. Any video contributed to the repository will allow any faculty member to browse, search, watch and use media contributed by other faculty members. Media from the Faculty Repository may also be added to other tools and content via the Mashup Tool.

Effective Practices
- Assign video categories and descriptive metadata following the UBC Guidelines for Metadata to easily locate files later.
- Removing media from Faculty Repository does not delete the video but is retained in the owner's My Media.
- Use the Faculty Repository to share a video with a colleague or with other faculty members across campus.
- If clipping is enabled for other users (through the option in My Media), new clips created with your media will create a copy in the other users' My Media. Therefore, if you un-contribute the media in the future, and other users have created clips from your media, their clips will not be removed from Kaltura. Take this into consideration when contributing to the Faculty Repository.
