In summer 2022, Techsmith will retire their Knowmia video platform. Knowmia is a popular video streaming service often used for capturing lectures and other academic-related video. Information Services will work with Techsmith to migrate our existing Knowmia videos over to our Kaltura Mediaspace platform (available via http://myapps.up.edu).
What should I do until the switch?
Nothing is changing until the end of Spring semester. You can continue to use Knowmia, as you have been, for the remainder of Spring 2022.
What is happening to my current videos in Knowmia?
On May 9, we will freeze operation in Techsmith Knowmia and prepare videos for migration over to Mediaspace. This automated process will take several weeks and will result in all Knowmia videos moving into Mediaspace. We will work with our vendors to update any links to Knowmia videos within Moodle to the new Mediaspace URLs. We hope to make the switch as seamless as possible.
Where can I learn more about Mediaspace?
Guides and documentation for Kaltura Mediaspace are currently available on our ATSI PIlotsUP page. We’ll be expanding these guides in the coming months.
Questions and Concerns
Please contact atsi@up.edu with any questions. We’ll continue to post news and updates as we get closer to May 9.
