Kaltura integration with Brightspace - any issues encountered at rollover?

Question

Hi

when rolling over a test batch of modules in advance of our actual rollover, we noticed that the Kaltura media gallery within Brightspace was empty i.e. the content hadn't copied across

Have any other Kaltura/Brightspace integration users had any issues with video content copying across during rollover?

And if so how did you fix it?

The LT1 1.3 Advance integration looks fine and is applied to all models

We are following a pretty standard rollover approach i.e.

1. We create empty course shells for each module for the coming year by transferring information on the modules that will be running in the coming year from our Student Information System into Brightspace (IPSIS) .

2. We then create a csv file that copies content from the previous year's modules into the coming year's modules

3. This csv file is uploaded and processed using the Brightspace Copy Course Bulk - CCB - tool

thanks @Generic.A.750  - much appreciated 🙂

Kaltura also responded with the info below, which I'll share in case its of use to any other Brightspace/Kaltura integration users out there

It does appear that when embedded videos are played after the rollover, they do populate the media gallery

Just a note to say that on the student content side, I think we have the galleries set up by default to not allow this but will check

Kaltura said:

Upon reviewing internally I can confirm that Media Gallery during course copy is a current limitation, which relays on LMS.

Do note that it affects only media that was manually published into the course Media Gallery, because there is a second way for media to appear in the Gallary. That option is "Display embedded media in this Media Gallery" under course Media Gallary settings. As it displays entries embedded on course pages (which have no limits on copying courses).

Yes, content from other courses can be imported using the "Import" option, as described on a article I shared.

@Generic.A.750 That's normal behavior for a Course Media Gallery within a D2L course. The videos within a Gallery will never copy over to a different course because students can add videos to the Gallery and that's considered student data, which doesn't get copied from course to course.
