4 Hidden Content Hidden content is content that has been added to the course via the course gallery and is not available to students. When content is converted and added it appears as hidden in the Course Gallery. Before an instructor can add the content to a designated area in the course they must make the content available. 1. To make content available for use in the course: 2. Go to the Control Panel in the course you want to make media available. 3. Go to Course Tools. 4. Select Course Gallery. 5. Select the title of the video you want to modify. 6. The video will appear in the window to the right. 7. Select the checkbox Make this Item Public in Gallery. It will automatically save the changes. 8. The words Hidden will no longer appear under the movie title. Now the content may be added to the course. Deploying Content Instructors may add content to the course by loading a video into Kaltura Media, upload a video in the Course Gallery, or choose to record from a webcam or quick screen capture. Once the media has been added to the course, the instructor will need to deploy the content for student viewing. Adding Media as a Standalone Content Item When an instructor adds content to the course through the Kaltura Media Tool, they are adding a video as a standalone content item. This would be comparable to adding a YouTube video to your Blackboard Course. 1. Go to the course you want to add media to 2. Select a Content Area to add media to. 3. Select the Tools button. 4. Choose Kaltura Media from the drop down menu. Page 4 of 7
