Instructional Design & Technology

Kaltura is a new video-streaming service at Rutgers, which will eventually be integrated into Sakai. It could be compared to a private YouTube for Rutgers. Faculty, you can upload videos you’ve made previously, then share them with links or by embedding in a course page. Kaltura also includes tools to create new videos and presentations including combinations of webcam video, audio, slideshows, and screencasts.
