Add Video using Mashups

The following section describes how to access the ‘Kaltura Media’ mashups feature in the content editor. The ‘Kaltura Media’ Mashup allows you to integrate media into your text. You can place videos to assist you in providing your students with a better understanding of what you want, what an example would look like, and give them a clearer picture that you couldn't have done otherwise with text, or photos alone. This is also useful for instructors when including videos in an assignment or content items and for students when responding to a discussion post or submitting an assignment.
