Submission workflow for video assignments - Blackboard

About

Use embedded video submissions as assignments to prevent the video from being edited or deleted across the board for LMS integrations. Each method allows users to submit a video as an assignment. When submitted, the video is cloned under a new username (OriginalUserName_assignment) and is not available in My Media, ensuring the assignment cannot be edited or deleted.

This feature is enabled and configured in the Browseandembed module.

Via embed settings

  1. Access a course page with the text editor, and 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.

Via embed button

 Access a course page with the text editor, and select Embed Kaltura Media from the text editor. (this name may vary according to your setup)

  1. Select the </> Embed button next to the media you want to embed.
  2. A pop-up window displays, asking if you would like to submit media as an assignment.    

  3. Click Yes, please to confirm the action.

That's it! Media was embedded as an assignment. i.e. Media is cloned and saved under a different user’s name and unavailable for change.

Via a dedicated embed button

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

Follow the instructions in the Kaltura Video Tool for Blackboard Ultra Deployment Guide to create a new tool similar to the BSE, using the following link instead: https://{your_KAF_URL}/browseandembed/index/browseandembed/assignment/yes

You can use this icon for the submission tool: https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/content/static/submission.png
