About
Kaltura media assignments ensure the integrity of student submissions by preventing edits or deletions after submission. When a student submits a video, Kaltura clones it under a new username (OriginalUserName_assignment), ensuring the original remains unchanged. This prevents students from modifying or replacing their submission after the deadline.
The submitted video will not appear in My Media.
For instructions on setting up this feature, please see our article Set up Kaltura's media assignment tool for Moodle.
