[OK]; Students, instructors, and staff can log in at mediaspace.wisconsin.edu |
[~]; Experience is virtually identical to a browser on a computer. Caveat: While it technically works to record a new video on mobile, it is better to upload existing recordings—file size can be an issue here depending on the device/format/quality of the recording. |
[~]; KMS Go app works with the mediaspace.wisconsin.edu address for recording and uploading videos. Students will still need to use a browser to put that video somewhere. (NOTE: On iPad, the app is “scaled” for iPhone) |
[!]; Not available via the Canvas navigation. Media Gallery does not appear in Navigation. Not available in the rich content editor. [~]; If links are sufficient, a student can add those but needs to make the video public or unlisted (which can be tricky).
