Description:

Videos are often the most highly engaging media in a course. Videos can be used to introduce new course content, reinforce concepts already learned, share demonstrations, simulations, and much more. You may know that NSU has a media server called Shark Media which is our branded version of Kaltura. During this workshop, we will review the many capabilities of the Shark Media platform. We will show you where you can find every function on the platform, from uploading videos, all the way to creating chapter markers and playlists for your students. 

In Shark Media you can: 

  • Automatically caption your videos. 
  • Create playlists of videos to share about a topic. 
  • Easily share your videos with colleagues. 
  • Add attachments like PowerPoint presentations to your videos. 
  • Add multiple-choice questions to your videos. 
  • Record a new video. 
  • Embed your videos into your Canvas course. 
  • View analytics about your video content. 
  • Add shortcut chapter markers to your videos. 
  • Create branching scenarios that link to other videos or web pages. 

 

No matter if you are new to Shark Media or if you have used it before, we promise that you will learn something new.
