When individual users upload media or create it using the Kaltura media tools integrated with UNM Learn, these materials are added to a personal repository called My Media. My Media allows instructors to upload media, and share it in a variety of ways: they can be added to a Content Area, or added as a Kaltura Mashup anywhere there is a content editor (the screen with the lines of text and other formatting tools).  Media can also be published to a special tool called the Media (Course) Gallery.

Add a Tool Link to the Media (Course) Gallery

You must add the Media (Course) Gallery Tool Link to each course where you want the materials to appear.  Note: If you publish videos to a course without adding a link to the Media Gallery, students will not be able to view them.
