Creating interactive videos using Kaltura
Kaltura’s editing tools let instructors create feature-rich videos that include captions, transcripts, in-video navigation, and multiple synced video streams:
Ensuring quality in video captions
Video captions and transcripts make video more usable and accessible for everyone. They also improve search and in-video navigation. VCC Kaltura automatically adds machine-generated captions on new video entries, and you can easily improve their accuracy using Kaltura's closed captions editor.
Video navigation and search (Moodle/Mediaspace)
Use Kaltura's Timeline feature to combine live video or images in dual-screen or picture-in-picture layouts. Add chapter bookmarks to make it easy for viewers to search content or captions for keywords or to skip ahead to a specific topic. Make lectures and workshops easier to view by importing PowerPoint slides right into your video and synchronizing them in the timeline.
Creating multi-stream videos for lectures or demonstrations
You can enhance recordings of lectures and demonstrations by combining multiple videos (or even PowerPoint slides) together into a split-screen or picture-in-picture presentation. Using Kaltura Capture, you can combine multiple sources of video or images into a single entry, in a side-by-side or picture-in-picture layout.
For example, if you had specified multiple cameras or screens to record in Capture, or if you wanted to show your webcam while recording a Powerpoint slideshow, all those sources could be recorded at once using Capture, and would be combined into a single, multi-stream entry.
These articles provide more detail on combining videos and slides into a single presentation:
HotSpots (Moodle/Mediaspace)
Transform any video into an interactive video by adding Hotspots. Add calls-to-action and links to additional information anywhere in your video. Create buttons, customize their appearance, link them to other pages, and choose the time when they appear in your video.
Video Quiz (Moodle/Mediaspace)
Increase the effectiveness of your video by including questions and responses for richer learning experiences. Kaltura Video Quizzes increase engagement, enable measurement, and provide a new way to improve learning outcomes.
