Media management, access, and distribution is a high-growth area for the research and education\u00a0community.\u00a0<\/span>More and more, both education and\u00a0events such as research conferences allows flexible access, remote participation, and time shifting.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For this reason, conferences are often recorded for both on-line, real-time streaming and for time- and geography-shifted access. \u00a0In education, lecture capturing and the ability for students for follow courses remotely or at their own pace is a growing concern. \u00a0Advanced campuses are recording most lectures and allow access for either closed student groups or the public.\u00a0<\/p>

NORDUnet has strong experience in media recording, management, and distribution, and in providing such services in a way that meet the needs of the R&E community.\u00a0<\/p>

NORDUnet offers\u00a0comprehensive solutions for specific requirements, such as supporting the communications needs of meetings and conferences, and offer back-end services for media storage, managament and distribution.<\/p>

Media management and distribution services are generally offered through (Nordic) NRENs to campus or research team users. \u00a0Live streaming and conference services are offered to our key partners in the R&E networking community.<\/p>

NORDUnet Kaltura Service<\/h2>

The NORDUnet Kaltura Service is based on the Kaltura On-Prem Edition with a redundant centralized installation hosted in NORDUnet Hosting Centers within the Nordic region. All organizations using the service will have each their own administrative instance which can be managed as a separate installation.<\/p>

Kaltura<\/span><\/h3>

The Kaltura platform provides tools that facilitate innovative and engaging learning experiences beyond just lecture capture. Next generation learning is offered to students, staff and faculty via online video solutions covering both teaching, learning, student retention and increased engagement across campuses. Staff and students can easily create, upload, edit, manage, publish, discover and deliver high quality video to any device, live or on demand.<\/p>

Flipped Classroom, Distance Learning, MOOCs and SPOCs are all new teaching and learning ways supported by the solution, and Kaltura\u00a0 can be integrated with major Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Canvas, Desire2learn, Sakai, Moodle and Blackboard.<\/p>

Currently Kaltura is used by approx. 60 universities and research organizations throughout the Nordics, reaching almost 400,000 end users.<\/p>

Availability<\/span><\/h3>

The NORDUnet Kaltura service is available to all organizations and projects within the Nordic NREN community, through the NREN in each country.<\/span><\/p>

Case:<\/h3>

Roskilde University has moved all its video productions into the Kaltura video management system from DeiC. This is expected to lead to security, stability, and control of copyright issues.<\/p>

DeiC delivers Kaltura as a service hosted by NORDUnet. The combination of DeiC and NORDUnet was a deciding factor when the Danish university chose Kaltura.<\/p>

Consultant Michael Pedersen from the Academic IT function at Roskilde University explains:\"\"<\/p>

\u201cI recommended to the steering committee that we choose DeIC and NORDUnet. An important reason was that they belong in the world of academia. We are familiar with DeIC as the provider of our network connection, Adobe Connect, WAYF (Where Are You From), and other services.\u201d<\/p>

Kaltura is a video management system where Roskilde University may store videos and describe them using metadata. After an employee or student has placed a video in the system it may be accessed via a special video portal. Videos may also be embedded in web pages or integrated with the Moodle LMS (Learning Management System).<\/p>

\u201cMoodle integration is very important for us. It makes it easy for our educators to embed video in their courses,\u201d said Michael Pedersen.<\/p>

He is also glad that Kaltura is integrated with WAYF. That integration eases user administration because user accounts don\u2019t have to be created separately for the system.<\/p>

Long video clips<\/h3>

The previous video management solution at the university imposed limits on how long video clips users might store. The system was based on Adobe Flash technology, meaning that Apple users or users of smartphones and tablet computers were unable to view the videos.<\/p>

\u201cIn order to get rid of the limitations of the old system, we experimented with YouTube. It works, but using YouTube means giving up some of our rights to the material. We don\u2019t want to do that. Furthermore, a free cloud solution such as YouTube gives us no guarantee that our clips will continue to be available on the net,\u201d said Michael Pedersen.<\/p>

Kaltura solves both those problems. Roskilde University retains all rights to the videos. And with NORDUnet hosting the service, backup of data is taken care of.<\/p>

\u201cI hope that more universities will adopt the Kaltura solution. The more we are, the cheaper the system becomes for all of us. And we are in a stronger position when we suggest changes and new functionality in the system,\u201d he said.<\/p>

Roskilde University has been using video for education and communication for many years. In the archives, Michael Pedersen has found videos dating back to the 1970\u2019s.<\/p>

\u201cVideo could be used in many more places. For instance, many of our classes include laboratory work. Video provides an efficient way to demonstrate how to use the equipment,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

NORDUnet Panopto – Video Content Management\u00a0Service<\/h2>
Manage, live stream, record and share video with the easy-to-use video platform.<\/div><\/div>

The NORDUnet Panopto Service is based on the Panopto software platform; with a redundant centralized installation hosted in NORDUnet Hosting Centers within the Nordic region. Each organization using the service will get their own administrative instance, which they will be able to manage like a separate installation.<\/p>

There is an option for external backup of the data contained in the system.<\/p>

The Panopto platform makes it easy to manage video assets, integrate video into a learning management system, capture lectures, record flipped classroom videos, etc. The service delivers a high-quality user experience while supporting thousands of simultaneous video streams and uploads.<\/p>

Why Panopto?<\/h3>
