Kaltura MediaSpace is a public page allowing Fairfield University faculty, staff, and students access to manage their My Media content as well as access department channel videos, such as ITS Tutorials.

MediaSpace is currently in a pilot phase, but users are encouraged to explore the platform and provide feedback and requests to academiccomputing@fairfield.edu.

Request a Channel for Your Department

If you would like to create a channel for your department or class, please email academiccomputing@fairfield.edu with the following information:

• Name of the channel

• User(s) who will manage the channel

  A group will be created as the channel owner. Users added to the group will be able to upload and organize videos within the channel.

  To add or remove users, email academiccomputing@fairfield.edu.

• Privacy Setting of the Channel
  • Public (when the link is shared)
  • Requires Authentication (anyone with an active NetID can access with the link)
  • Private (only authorized users can access)
    • If Private, which users should have access? This may include students who are viewing content but may not need owner access to the channel.
