Beginning June 29, along with Blackboard Learn update, Kaltura service will migrate to the cloud. Kaltura is provided through a shared service in partnership with BCNET. During COVID, BCNET identified performance issues, long processing times and outages due to the large volume of videos as institutions adjusted to online learning. In response, UFV will migrate Kaltura to the cloud beginning June 29th. BCNET Kaltura shared service will be decommissioned at the end of September.
UFV faculty and students can expect improved performance and processing times, automatic updates, and fixes for common Kaltura issues and unlimited machine captioning for video-on-demand content.
The migration will result in an outage to Kaltura for up to 36 hours beginning June 29. Summer faculty are asked to plan accordingly for this outage and visit our blog to learn more about the benefits of this migration and how to prepare for the outage.
