YuJa Media Transition Update
We need all students and faculty to select the YuJa Media link in iLearn under “Media” to create their account. This is critical in the migration of videos from Kaltura to YuJa.
Here’s how to create your account.
Any videos created after June 25, 2021 will not be included in the automatic migration from Kaltura to YuJa Media. If you create additional videos after this point, you will have to download and re-upload your videos following these steps.
Learn more about the transition process from Kaltura to YuJa and view the transition timeline.
