(1-11 of 11)- Expand brand and product awareness
- Allow for mass communication
- Poor customer experience with chatting during events
- Although not measured, may have led to increased sales due to mass awareness of products/services.
Kaltura: A swiss knife of media tools
- Has helped our institution augment teaching and learning by increase media usage
- Unlimited bandwidth and storage is great return on investment
- Increase use of Online Teaching with Kaltura Classroom, especially after COVID-19
Kaltura is a good video management platform
- I'm on the R&D (technical) side, not on the BizDev side, so all I can say is that the ability to integrate our platform with Kaltura's products helped us sign new deals with customers
Kaltura offers easy video streaming and transcoding
- Great video storage platform.
- Easy to use for end users.
- Amazing streaming capabilities with automatic transcoding.
Unlock the potential of your media library with Kaltura
- It's not a cheap tool but it has helped us better integrate our online course media into the face-to-face classroom setting. It has been a key piece of software for exploring the 'flipped classroom' model.
- Giving faculty the ability to easily create their own course media has freed up precious time slots in our recording studio(s) as well as freed up the support staff to work on other projects.
- The in-line quizzing feature has positively impacted student's knowledge retention and their grades have, on average, been better in courses that leverage this feature in Kaltura.
- The individual level analytics help us better identify students who may be struggling or have become disengaged with the course content.
Love Kaltura for online courses
- We are able to have more online availability for our students.
- We can provide classes even during weather issues.
- Mostly used for online courses.
Kaltura - One stop solution for all things video.
- The ability to have such a robust solution for rich media content far outweighs the cost of service.
- We have new projects which will push the limits and abilities of Kaltura in the future.
Kaltura Review
- Save tremendous money in converting learning spaces to digital.
- Created a culture of on-demand video which improves the overall attraction and retention of students.
- Supports our academic efforts and allows IT to maintain some control over video assets.
Kaltura for Moodle 2.x - OK, but could be better
- Kaltura has been positive in the sense that we can do some very basic video publishing in our online courses. However, we are very limited in our ability to go further than what we might have been able to do if we had simply recommended to faculty to use YouTube instead. If GSC had the opportunity to make an autonomous decision about which streaming media system to use in Moodle, we would look elsewhere.
First 4 years with Kaltura at a major university.
- Managing video content with the KMC has greatly reduced the amount of hours previously needed to manage.
- User issues ie: uploading video, viewing video has been greatly reduced.
- Increased user engagement with using video in LMS courses. We currently have 6,929 videos on our system. Last month , 2/1/14, 17,623 videos were viewed at least 75% of the way through.
- We have drastically increased our efficiency in the multimedia realm. We used to manually convert videos into their proper formats, then put the video on an HTTP server for consumption. This required a lot of time and resources. Now, we just upload the video to Kaltura and it converts to any format you want and streams perfectly.
- Because of my first point, our customer service has also become much better since we can turn around raw video -> published video in a very short amount of time.
- Using Kaltura, we have also greatly improved our accessibility standards across campus. We can now use closed captioning software to create captions for all of the videos that are uploaded. Before, this was not a feasible option.
