Each course in Brightspace has its own Kaltura Course Gallery. This is where students and teachers can post videos. As a teacher, you must approve a student's video before it becomes visible to other students in the Course Gallery. In this guide, you'll learn how to do this and how to create playlists with the videos.
Approve or reject student videos
- Go to Activities in your course's navbar.
- Click on Kaltura Course Gallery.
The Media tab shows videos that have already been published in the Course Gallery. The Pending tab shows videos that students have posted, but that you, as a teacher, still have to approve.
Click Approve next to the video if you want it to be visible in the Course Gallery or Reject if you don't want it to be posted in the Course Gallery.
Automatically approve student videos without moderation
You can also set that you don’t have to moderate student videos, but that they appear in the Course Gallery as soon as students publish them here.
- In the Course Gallery, click on the three bars at the top right.
- Click Edit.
- Make sure that the box for Moderate content (media will not appear in media gallery until approved by the gallery manager) is unchecked.
- Click Save.
Students can now add videos to the Course Gallery without you having to approve them.
Create a playlist
As a teacher, you can create playlists with videos from the Course Gallery. This will then also be visible to students. With a playlist, you can categorise the videos (e.g. by theme or lecture) or you can use this to easily play the videos one after the other.
- In the Course Gallery, click on the three bars at the top right.
- Next, click Create channel playlist.
- Give the playlist a name
- Optionally, add a description and/or tags.
- Choose whether you want to add media from My Media or the Media Gallery.
- Click the plus sign to add a video to the playlist.
- Click Go to Media Gallery.
Your playlist is now visible in the Course Gallery.
Add or remove a video from a playlist
To add a video to or remove a video from a playlist, hover your mouse over the video's thumbnail.
- Click on the three dots at the bottom right.
- You can now manage which playlists this video is visible in.
- Or you can remove the video from the current playlist.
