Using Kaltura to Create and Share Interactive Videos in Moodle

Tuesday 25 March: 11-12.00

This webinar will show you how to use Kaltura, the video platform accessed via ‘My media’ in Moodle.

You can create new videos using an in-built screen and webcam recorder, and upload videos you have made elsewhere. The videos are editable, and captions are automatically generated.

You can also create interactive quizzes as an overlay to the videos (including with YouTube videos) to use in flipped learning scenarios, and to improve student engagement. Students can also use it to share videos for assignments or other activities.

Moodle Gradebook and Setup

Tuesday 1 April: 11-12.00

The Moodle Gradebook is a comprehensive and flexible tool for managing and organising student grades. It allows you to organise all assignments into summative and formative categories, and calculates course grade totals according to the relative weight of each assignment. It can also manage scenarios such as 'drop the lowest three grades' of a group of activities, and other types of grade aggregation.

Setting up the Gradebook properly is a prerequisite for MyGrades to work.

This webinar will review the main features of Gradebook and how to use them, and will be of relevance to anyone who is involved in managing and releasing student grades.
