Kaltura offers you the ability to view analytics for your course videos in a couple of different ways, depending on whether you are using the Course Media Gallery feature or simply sharing individual Kaltura videos via Canvas pages.
Before reviewing your Kaltura analytics, it is important to note that there are some significant limitations:
We do not recommend using Kaltura analytics as a basis for determining attendance or participation grades in any way.
Instead, the use of Kaltura analytics is to give you a general sense of how your students are interacting with your course materials. A much more reliable way of measuring attendance or participation is to pair a short Canvas quiz with each lecture video. As an added bonus, if you use all multiple choice questions, then students' grades for each quiz will be calculated automatically.
Follow the directions in this video to view your Canvas Media Gallery's analytics. These analytics can help you to see who has watched your videos, for how long they watched the video, and more, to give you a general impression of how your students are interacting with your course materials.
You can go into your My Media page and view analytics for individual videos. These analytics can help you to see who has watched your videos, for how long they watched the video, and more, to give you a general impression of how your students are interacting with your course materials.
