Important

The University of Northampton requires that all video and audio recordings for assessment are first uploaded to the MyMedia video server before submission in NILE, whether you create your video using Kaltura Capture, PowerPoint or your mobile device.

Video or audio files can be uploaded through the use of Kaltura Capture, by navigating on your laptop or mobile browser to mymedia.northampton.ac.uk and selecting Add New or by using the Add New option in the Kaltura submission plug-in for NILE, which is explained in this guide.

If these digital technologies are unfamiliar to you, we strongly recommend you practice the steps ahead of any deadline. You can use this guide to learn how to use Kaltura Capture or add content to MyMedia. You can also ask your tutor to set up a test submission point for your class to allow you to practice the submission process.

If you have followed our guidance and experience a technical issue, you can log a support request with our team. However, this service is UK office hours and an immediate response is not guaranteed. Technical support should be requested before your deadline or you risk failing your assessment.

Reminder:

  • Do not upload video or audio files as attachments to your NILE submission point.
  • Do not use the Share option from MyMedia as videos are set as Private and will not be visible to tutors.
  • Do not use Kaltura Capture to submit the work of another student.

Follow this link Submitting Video or Audio for Assessment for a quick video guide to submitting video and if you experience technical issues, select this link to complete our support form.

 

How to submit video or audio for assessment

Open the Assessment and submission Learning Module.

Select the assignment title.

Select the View assessment option.

Select the Text editor.

Select the Insert Content icon.

Select Content Market from the drop-down menu.

Select the Kaltura Add / Embed Media tile from the Institution Tools section.

Select Search My Media to find the Capture video which has been uploaded to your personal video library.

You should Preview the video to ensure it is the version you want to submit for assessment.

Select Embed to choose your recording and begin the submission process.

NOTE: If you have used PowerPoint or your mobile to create your recording, you can also use Add New to upload your file.

IMPORTANT: Do not upload your recording directly into NILE as this method is not supported by the Learning Technology team.  

Select Add New and then select Media Upload to drag & drop or upload your recording for submission.

The MediaSpace LTI plug-in for Blackboard Ultra will allow you to upload all common video and audio formats.

Once you have selected Embed you will begin the steps to submit your recording for assessment.

It is essential you follow these steps or your submission will not be complete.

Amend the Display Name of the video or audio in the Insert Content Market item pop-out.

Select the Insert option.

Your recording has now been embedded in the text editor ready for submission.

Select Submit to continue the submission process.

Select Submit from the Submit Assignment pop-out to confirm you want to continue to submit this recording for assessment.

The Your Submission was successful pop-out confirms you have completed a submission Attempt.

You can check your email for a confirmation of your submission and to review your attempt.

You can select Close to exit this pop-out confirmation screen.

You can select Submission if you wish to review your submission Attempt.

Select Start Attempt to make an additional submission.

 If you wish to review a previous attempt, select Submissions then choose an Attempt.

You can select an Attempt if you want to review your submission but be aware this has now been submitted for assessment and cannot be changed.

If this is not the correct recording or if you have not correctly embedded the recording, you can exit this screen and make another submission attempt, provided your module tutor has allowed you to make multiple attempts.
