“If faculty want to do recording with a webcam or quickly record a lecture, we rolled out a service called Video Express,” he said. “Everybody is looking for some sort of self-service video production.”
Also, Hagen said instructors can use Purdue University’s production studios to record and share videos with students via Video Express.
The studios include green screens, user interfaces and web portals for video access to upload and share videos to the Kaltura platform.
From the production studios, Hagen said video usage has grown from 903 views in 2013 to 12,213 views in 2015.
“People are downloading them, using them, watching them,” he said. “You can share video, do direct uploads to Kaltura, etc. Forty-one percent of videos make it in there and go to the website.”
While Purdue University had success deploying Kaltura’s video platform for students, Hagen said colleges should be equipped with questions and a plan of action before implementing their own solution.
Ask questions
Hagen said colleges should ask as many questions as possible before selecting and installing a video solution.
He said colleges should gear their questions towards the decision-makers on campus.
Example questions include:
What integrations will you need?
What devices are faculty, staff and students using to view video?
Which groups on campus need to be involved in the decision -making process?
How flexible is the product?
