KAF version: 5.67.17
Overview
These release notes pertain to the Kaltura Video Building Block 5 for Blackboard Learn 9.x, released December 20, 2017, build 5.0.63, minimum KAF version 5.67.17, supporting the Blackboard self-hosted and managed-hosting.
The Kaltura Video Building Block supports the following service packs:
- Blackboard Learn self-hosted and managed-hosting (v5.0.63) - Q4 2016 release, Q2 2017 release, and release Q4 2017.
- Blackboard Learn SaaS in the classic Learn experience (v5.1.0.63).
New Features
This version introduces the following items:
- Support for the new Blackboard Learn Q4 2017
- Pop Up & Responsive Player – The player pop up was removed from all Kaltura Mashup Tool embeds. In the standalone Mashup Tool (using ’Course Content > Build Content > Kaltura Media’) the player is also responsive, meaning it will change its size when the browser's dimensions change.(1)
Since this change will only affect newly embedded content, we recommend re-embedding any content you want to move to an in-page player.
- Grading ‘Points Possible’ – This version contains the ability to choose the “points possible” for the IVQ submission through the BB 'Assesments' workflow. When the IVQ is added to a course, you can choose a distribution of points other than 1-100. (2)
