Select Media Gallery from the Course Navigation Menu.

If any playlists have been created in the course, the Playlists tab will display as the first page.  If this is the case, select the Media tab to go to it.

On the Add Media page:

1. Select 1 Shared Repository.
2. Select Shared Repository (UVACanvas) or Shared Repository (UVACanvas Connect). The name of the option will indicate whether you are accessing the repository within UVACanvas or UVACanvas Connect.

1. In the Search box, enter terms to search for files in the repository.
2. By default, the search applies to All Fields, including the file's Name, Description, Tags, and Captions. You may use the Filters to limit the search results.

In the example pictured above, the word "English" is being used to search for an audio file of Robert Frost reading his poems that has a tag of "English".

1. Select the checkbox for each file to publish.
2. Scroll up near the top of the screen and select Publish.

The Rich Content Editor is available on most pages in Canvas where text can be added. For example, you may use the editor to create a page in Modules, create or submit an assignment, or make a discussion post.

Pictured above is where an instructor can find the Edit button on a Week 1 Readings page to add an audio file from the repository to that page.

Position your cursor where you want to embed the media.

Select the Embed Kaltura Media button in the editor's toolbar. The button looks like a multicolored sun.

An Embed Kaltura Media dialog window will pop up. In this window, select the Shared Repository tab.

1. In the Search box, enter terms to search for files in the repository.
2. By default, the search applies to All Fields, including the file's Name, Description, Tags, and Captions. You may use the Filters to limit the search results.

In the example pictured above, the word "English" is being used to search for an audio file of Robert Frost reading his poems that has a tag of "English".

You may either embed the video, audio, or image file with the default player settings, or edit the settings before embedding it to customize the player.

The file will appear in the editor. Select the Play button to preview it.

After you have finished adding content, be sure to save your work.

Select Modules from the  Course Navigation Menu.

If you have not yet created the module where you will add the link to the media file, follow the steps to add a module (opens new window).

Select the Add Content (+) button for the module where the media file will be linked.

From the Add drop-down menu, select External Tool.

From the list of tools that appears, select Kaltura My Media or Media Gallery.

A Link Resource from External Tool dialog window will pop up. In this window, select the Shared Repository tab.

You will be taken back to the Add Item dialog for the module.

1. Scroll down in the window to find the details about the link you will be creating.
2. By default, the Page Name, which is the text of the link that will appear in the module, will have the name of the media file. You may edit this text if needed to make it clear to students what they will be accessing when they select the link.

Select the Add Item button to create the link.

Don't forget to publish the module (if it was not previously published) and the link to the media file using the Publish options in the Modules tool when you're ready to make the file available to students. For steps, see How do I publish or unpublish a module as an instructor? (opens new window).
