• Kaltura is a private video/audio server similar to YouTube, located at the University of British Columbia. 
• Videos and audio files uploaded to this server will only be accessible to specific people. 
• If you use the Kaltura Assignment to upload a video or audio file, then only your instructor will have access to that media.
• If you upload a video or audio file to a Discussion Forum, then your instructor and classmates will have access to that media.

IMPORTANT:  When creating a video or audio file for upload to the internet, set your quality at medium-low, about 30%.  Highest quality makes HUGE files, slow upload/download, and doesn't improve the end users viewing significantly.
