Add Your Kaltura Video to VoiceThread and Share the VoiceThread With Your Course

To begin, create a new VoiceThread. See Creating and Editing VoiceThreads for more information.

Click on the “Add Media” button. 

This will bring up a menu. Select Media Sources. 

This will bring up a list of media sources. Select Kaltura Media.

Your Kaltura Media videos will load. Select any video to insert it into your VoiceThread.

Once you have copied the link, go to myLesley and navigate to where you wish to share your VoiceThread (ex an Announcement, Discussion Board, blog, journal, etc.). Paste the link to your VoiceThread and then click the Insert/Edit Link button in the text/content editor.

This will open a new window. Enter your URL in the Link Path area. In the Target area, select Open in New Window. Click Insert to insert your link.

Your clickable link will be added to your myLesley course.

For New Videos (Have Not Previously Been Uploaded to Kaltura)

• Click on Add Media and select My Computer. Select your files.

The files will upload and process, which may take several minutes. As soon as they are ready you will see them as thumbnails on your Create page.
