Instructions for students: Submitting a video assignment

Video is everywhere these days, so in order to engage your students in a medium they love, it makes good sense to incorporate video assignments in your course. However, video files are usually much larger than other assignment formats. For this reason, you’ll need to provide your students with some specific instructions to use “Kaltura Media” in their assignment submission.

Following are the instructions to include for your students. Copy these instructions, then paste them into the text field when creating your assignment.
