This article provides an organized roadmap for using Kaltura live room during a live session.
What do I take with me?
- Make sure you can log in with your UCLN account. Bring your smartphone for authentication.
- Presentation (it is helpful to put the PowerPoint on a USB flash drive).
It is wise to open your Kaltura Live Room from within the Brightspace course. That way, recordings are automatically uploaded to Brightspace and students can easily access the live session and the recording. You can read how to create a link here.
