Introduction
This article will cover how to set-up a Moodle assignment to allow students to submit videos. The recommended way to facilitate video assignments is to have your students use UP’s Kaltura MediaSpace video site. MediaSpace has built-in tools to let students capture webcam, voice, and desktop and automatically upload. Once uploaded the videos can be shared or turned in to a Moodle assignment submission.

FAQs
Are instructions available for students to use to submit their videos?
Why yes! Feel free to point your students to the guide for submitting to a media assignment.
Why don’t students get email notifications when they have successfully submitted a video?
One difference between a standard assignment and a media assignment is that students will not receive the standard email notification upon submission. Instead, they should see a success message on the Moodle screen after submission. They can also revisit the submission page and verify that their video is present.
