Submission Workflow for the LMS Video Assignments - Admin Guide


About

Use embedded video submissions as assignments to prevent the video from being edited or deleted across the board for LMS integrations. 

There are two ways to enable this submission workflow - 

Both ways allow a user to submit media as an assignment. Upon doing so, the entry is cloned under a new user name ("OriginalUserName_assignment"). The cloned entry is unavailable in My Media, ensuring that the assignment cannot be edited or deleted.

Admin Setup

 The KAF administrator can enable this feature in the Browseandembed module.

enableAssignmentSubmission – Select Yes to enable a toggle button "Submit as Assignment" (previous pop-up message). 

assignmentSubmissionText - Type the text that displays inside the pop-up. The default text is "Would you like to submit media as an assignment?" - DEPRECATED

assignmentSubmissionMaxRole – Select the highest role level for which the toggle button "Submit as Assignment" displays (previous pop-up message).

End User Experience

If the enableAssignmentSubmission is enabled and the user's role is under the defined assignmentSubmissionMaxRole, every time the user selects an entry to embed in Browse, Search, and Embed, the toggle button "Submit as Assignment" displays. As follows:

1. In the LMS course, select Embed Kaltura Media from the text editor. (this name may vary according to your setup)

2. Select the Embed Settings button next to the media you want to embed.

3. Enable the Submit as Assignment toggle button to embed the media as an assignment.

4. Click Embed

5. A pop-up window displays, asking if you would like to submit media as an assignment.
     Click Yes, please to confirm the action.

Media is cloned and saved under a different user’s name and unavailable for change.

Dedicated Submission Embed Button

Administrators can add a dedicated Kaltura Embed button just for assignments. Using this embed flow, users do not need to select whether this is an assignment. Instead, the entry is always cloned. 

Canvas

In LTI 1.3 Canvas has a limitation where only one Kaltura tool can be added per placement. If you use the BSE tool in the Text Editor placement you will not be able to add the dedicated submission embed tool as well.

Use the additional XML available in the KAF XML list (available in https://{your_KAF_URL}/canvas/config/create-xml-for-instance) to enable the tool. For more information on how to turn on Canvas Tools, please refer to the Canvas Deployment Guide.

The Kaltura Video Submission tool displays on the rich text editor as an additional icon.
