MediaSpace is a cloud based web service developed by Kaltura which facilitates the conversion and distribution of various audio, video and image media formats. Faculty & staff may upload media content to the MediaSpace server which is then available across various platforms and devices. Once uploaded, MediaSpace will provide links and embed code that you can use to share your media with others. Faculty and staff may decide to share their content publically or restrict who may see the content. Students are able to view non—public content by logging into the system. MediaSpace is offered to the Central community at no cost to the end-user. An overview of MediaSpace is available <here>.
Within MediaSpace there exists a host of additional features and programs including:
Kaltura Capture combines painless recording, automated publishing, and interactive viewing to enable easy video capture in class, at the office, at home, or on-the-go.
