Overview

These release notes pertain to the Kaltura Video Plugin for Moodle v4.5.1, released on March 10th, 2025. This version includes support for Moodle 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5(LTS), and relies on Kaltura KAF version 5.148.x.

What's New

This version introduces the following new items:

• More automated student activity tracking (ILMS-705)

Instructors can now set a rule requiring students to submit an assignment before an activity is marked complete. Adding “Make a submission” as a requirement in Moodle’s activity settings improves tracking accuracy and reduces manual effort. This eliminates the need for instructors to manually check submissions before marking activities as complete.

• Set reminders for video-based tasks

Students and instructors can now schedule reminders in Timeline for Kaltura Video Assignments and Video Resources, helping them stay on top of deadlines, improving time management, and reducing missed submissions.

• Quick access to My Media (ILMS-707)

Admins can now add My Media to the user menu, giving students and instructors a direct shortcut to their personal video libraries. This update simplifies navigation, making it faster and more convenient to find and manage media.
