There are several ways to make content available. Regardless of which tool you select, the process is the same once you are presented with an editor to enter content. Two different editors are available to you: traditional and RCE (Rich Content Editor) Enhancement editor. Follow these steps to determine which editor you have enabled:

  • Select Settings in the course navigation. Select Feature Options. If RCE Enhancements has an X next to it, you are using the traditional editor. If there is a check next to it, you use the RCE Enhancements editor. To enable the new RCE Enhancement editor, click the button to the right of the feature to turn it on.
  • In the editor window, place your cursor where you want to embed the video. It is recommended that you provide some introductory information before the video to give students some context for the video.
    • Using the traditional editor, you will see a blue chevron icon in the toolbar labeled More External Tools when you roll over it.
    • Using the RCE Enhancements editor, you will see a plug icon in the toolbar labeled Apps when you roll over it.
  • Select Embed Kaltura Media.
  • Locate the video you uploaded before.
  • Click on the Gear icon to the left of the Embed button.
  • Select the Download player to allow students to download the video to their computer. This will help students with low-bandwidth connections.
  • Select the Max Embed size (ex. 590 x 375).
  • Click </>Embed.
  • Save and/or Save/Publish, depending on the Canvas tool you are using.
