QMplus Media Updates - coming soon

We are pleased to inform you of two updates which are coming to  QMplus Media (July 2024) and these will enhance  the user experience.  For those unfamiliar with the system. QMplus Media is built on a powerful video management platform called Kaltura and is integrated with QMplus. The platform can be considered like an institutional YouTube. It enables staff and students to create, upload and share videos in channels, on QMplus and beyond.  There are several interactive features such as quizzes, hotspots, plus interactive video paths.

Kaltura playlists in both V2 and V7

We are upgrading from the  existing version 2 to version 7. This will provide a number of improvements including: 

• A more intuitive interface
• Advanced streaming providing smoother playback and faster loading of pages in QMplus
• Responsive design that works across all devices

We are planning for this to occur the same week as the QMplus upgrade in July 2024 (subject to change).

Theme Refresh

Current QMplus Media site

When you login to the QMplus Media site, you will be presented with a new, fresher looking interface. This will be implemented to coincide with the player update.

With the new player and theme refresh we will be making the Interactive Video Paths feature available to everyone. 

Interactive video paths enable you to add choice-based learning paths to your videos, inviting your audience to engage and participate. To find out more, visit Kaltura's Interactive Video Paths Overview page.
