In celebration of International Women's Day, I used AI image generation to create some beautiful 'photos' of women from around the world. Read the blog and see the gallery at https://t.co/j37NoTCqF5
I was blown away by the results, I think you will be too.

Some fantastic displays of sporting business ideas yesterday from our Sport & Exercise Sci BSc @UniNorthants students. Well done all, especially those that dealt with my grilling @HEAY7S @KatherineGrims2 (sorry 😬)! Big thanks to @Psychops @Brett_A_Baxter @BHWright_ @TonyBaross

Kaltura have added a new capability to the Interactive Video Paths editor that provides creators greater flexibility when creating their interactive videos. Video nodes can now be set to begin playing at a specified point in time rather than simply at the beginning.

A reminder to anyone about to use the old CaptureSpace recorder.

[LearnTech @ UoN @LearnTechUoN]

All staff and students should now be using the new Capture recorder to save work to their MediaSpace account. The previous Kaltura CaptureSpace recorder no longer uploads videos to your MediaSpace account.

Here's how to install the new recorder:

The Kaltura video players now all have variable playback speeds. Whizz through double-quick or slow the speaker down if you prefer. It's your choice. #accessibiltyforall

[LearnTech @ UoN @LearnTechUoN]

An irreverent, or is that irrelevant, post on the positive benefits to all students on good video captions.

An audio recording is also included for those that prefer to listen.

[LearnTech @ UoN @LearnTechUoN]

Embedding or submitting video in NILE is now 1% different. The Select button is now called Embed. If you want to read this simple change in more detail then here's the link:

From Friday 6th Feb, the Kaltura Mashup for NILE is going to change by the smallest amount. Almost every single part of it will remain utterly unchanged except the Select button will now be labelled Embed.
