What are the accepted file types and file sizes for MediaSpace?

MediaSpace accepts most common video, audio and image file types or any size, but the upload needs to be from a strong internet connection if the video file is large. You can upload from any location but remember that upload speeds from home internet service providers are often slow compared to uploading from the university campus.

Submitting video or audio for a Group assessment

 

If the recording is a group assessment, ensure the video owner records or uploads the recording to their Kaltura MediaSpace and logs into NILE to make the submission on behalf of the group.
