Recording, management, and delivery of teaching videos, integrated into the Moodle learning platform.
Opencast enables lecturers (with the Moodle 'Teacher' role) to provide existing videos in Moodle courses or produce new videos with Opencast Studio. Videos can be organized in series and imported into other Moodle courses. The per-file upload limit in Moodle does not apply when using Opencast. Hosting is on servers in Germany.
Please Note:
For good image and sound quality, videos should be uploaded in high quality, as Opencast automatically transforms them into delivery formats.
