Information Technology Services

Kaltura is available to current students, faculty and staff. Users can have access to an individual channel or groups of users can have access to a shared channel for managing content for a department or office.

Visit the Getting Started with Kaltura resource page for helpful information.

Kaltura user resources can be found in the Kaltura Knowledge Center

Actively viewed content will remain in Kaltura indefinitely, while content that has not been viewed within two years will become archived, and deleted after four years. Please consider holding a local copy of content that is important and should never be deleted.

During this initial phase of the implementation, Kaltura has one primary academic media-related functionality,the publishing of copyrighted and in some cases, non-copyrighted full-length course videos. This service is undergoing a full integration into our LATTE CMS, targeted for a FALL 2022 release. To utilize media from the reserves, faculty can place requests from within LATTE course shells, in the LATTE Course Tools block. Alternatively, the request process can begin here. All other types of academic media publishing to your Latte environment can be conducted through Brandeis Echo 360 by both faculty and students, as detailed here.

Kaltura will now host Course Videos in place of Ensemble. A new Online Course Video request form has been released in the Course Tools section of LATTE. All videos, including those currently in LATTE, will require a new request. For more information about requesting course videos through LATTE, please visit the Brandeis Library's information page on Course Video Requests.

In 2022, the university selected Kaltura to replace the Ensemble video platform, which was acquired by another company and ended support. All content from Ensemble was transferred to Kaltura. Please email mts@brandeis.edu if you have any questions about accessing content that was originally on the Ensemble platform.
