About Kaltura Digital Media Hub

The Kaltura Digital Media Hub is a new portal for audio-visual material for the University. It is designed to be the primary location from which to deliver the University’s audio-visual media. All University staff will have an account on the portal, and will be able to upload, create and curate media items to share with colleagues or with the wider world.

Media can be published on the portal so that it is accessible by anyone, similar to YouTube. However it is also very easy to publish media that is only accessible to people within the University, to a small group of colleagues, such as in a research group or department, or even just keep privately to yourself.

Add Media to MOLE

You can add new media into your MOLE course by uploading video content into your course, or by selecting some existing video you have already uploaded into the course. You can also select media that has been added to a Course Gallery by either yourself or a colleague - these videos are available to all Instructors of your Course. You can also use media from the Shared Repository, which contains media that has been shared for use across the whole institution.

  1. Access MOLE at: vle.shef.ac.uk

  4. Navigate to the course area where you want to add your video.
  5. With Edit Mode On, click on the Build Content button > click Item.

  8. To select media that has already been uploaded into your My Media collection, Course Gallery or Shared Repository, click the Select button next to the media entry

    6. Add at least one tag before you can publish the video anywhere
    7. Click to add additional metadata if you want to add this to the Shared Repository
    8. Click the Save button
    9. The YouTube video is now added to your media collection for use

    Edit Media Details

    Follow these steps to add or edit important metadata information, including name, a meaningful description, and at least one tag

    Metadata (or data about data) is the collective term used to describe your content. The importance of good metadata cannot be overstated. Metadata is essential in order for you to find content created by other people. It is also essential for people to be able to discover your content.

    In the Kaltura Media Hub, each item has a title, description and at least one “tag” or keyword to describe it. You will need to add these to each piece of content you have before the system will allow you to share it with others or use it in any other way apart from it being private to yourself. This will be increasingly important as more and more content is added to the Hub, and it is the one of the main reasons why video sharing sites such as YouTube have been so successful over the last 10 years.

     
    1. From your My Media page > click the Edit button for the media entry you want to edit in the list.
    2. From the Edit Media page > Enter text information into the required fields. You will not be able to publish your media unless you have provided a Name, Description and at least one Tag.
    3. Please also provide the optional metadata where appropriate, including indicating your Faculty and Department
    4. The DOI Reference field should be used if you have used your videos as part of some research data you have published in ORDA
    5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button to save your changes.

    The Importance of Metadata

    Metadata (or data about data) is the collective term used to describe your content. The importance of good metadata cannot be overstated. Metadata is essential in order for you to find content created by other people. It is also essential for people to be able to discover your content.

    In the Kaltura Media Hub, each item has a title, description and at least one “tag” or keyword to describe it. You will need to add these to each piece of content you have before the system will allow you to share it with others or use it in any other way apart from it being private to yourself. This will be increasingly important as more and more content is added to the Hub, and it is the one of the main reasons why video sharing sites such as YouTube have been so successful over the last 10 years.

    Here are some tips on how to create good metadata that will help everyone using the system:

    Naming & Description Best Practices and Guidelines

    When filling in the data fields be relevant, meaningful, and concise. Be as specific as makes sense and appears useful. This will help you find the media in the future.

    Name This is the first piece of metadata that anyone will see relating to your data. By default, the system will choose the filename for any video that you upload as the default name. This may not be very helpful so it really is a good idea to make sure you start with a meaningful name. If you are uploading an introductory video for a module, a specific week or new topic, pleas do not just call it “intro” - there will soon be many many videos called intro and neither you or your potential colleagues and viewers will be able to make sense of it. Instead be quite specific:

    Example - Introduction to a module “Introduction to module AP123, October 2017”

    Or an introduction to a specific week’s topic from the same module “Introduction to AAP123, week 4, 27th February 2017”

    Titles do have a limitation of 255 characters

    Description This offers a lot more scope to provide a more in depth and more meaningful description to your content here. Again remember that the description is to help you and any potential viewers, so explain as much as is necessary here.

    Tags They are added related descriptors to the video or resource. Tags will give you an opportunity to make your content more easily discoverable, as they can include extra words that you might not find in either the name or description of the item. These can typically include alternative spellings e.g color and colour, or common misspellings of popular keywords. Other good uses for these would be to use some other subject taxonomy or keywords that may have not featured in the name and description, and could also include course and module code if not already provided.

    Additional Optional Metadata

    We have also provided some optional fields for you to fill in - whilst you can proceed with publishing your content without filling these in, they will none the less be very useful for us collectively to manage the content.

    Faculty and Department - this is a multi-select list with which you can indicate your department or departments if your item is of an interdisciplinary nature. You can select more than one department from the scrollable list by combining the CTRL key + clicking the entries on a PC, or by combining the cmd/Apple key + clicking on the entries on a Mac

    DOI Reference - use this field to enter the DOI Reference you will have been given if this video is to accompany a data set that you have had published on ORDA.
