Kaltura Room
Kaltura Room to Replace Kaltura Virtual Classroom this Spring/Summer!
NIC is planning to implement the Kaltura Room update in either the Spring or Summer term, pending internal scheduling and coordination with Kaltura to ensure the transition minimizes impact on instructors and students.
*NOTE: The linked Kaltura Room resources are based on information Kaltura has shared with NIC and what is available on the Kaltura Knowledge Center site. Because an accurate test environment has not yet been provided, we are not able to confirm exactly how the platform will look or function, and some content may need to be updated once the changes are live.
All NIC instructors and students have access to Kaltura Room (formerly called Kaltura Virtual Classroom). Kaltura Room is a web conferencing platform focused on teaching and learning first with a number of features designed for instructors.
