To better support and improve the sustainability of the Kaltura platform, UBC is moving Kaltura videos hosted at UBC into the Kaltura cloud. Kaltura is a video platform integrated into the Canvas Learning Management System and the Teaching and Learning Media Portal.
Due to the high volume of videos, this migration will happen gradually over the course of a full month. The Learning Technology Hub will begin moving videos on April 1, 2023, and finish by Monday, May 1, 2023.
Please review the Kaltura Cloud Migration page for more information and resources.
