ITS is excited to announce that Clark University will transition to a new video management system, Kaltura, during the summer of 2025. 

Kaltura offers a robust, versatile, user-friendly video platform and is a market leader in higher education. Kaltura will provide students, faculty, and staff with the same features that they love about Panopto but with many more benefits, such as 

• Better Canvas integration 

• Easier video management 

• Enhanced collaboration tools 

• Powerful analytics 

• A focus on accessibility 

Panopto will continue to be available to all faculty, staff, and students through Spring 2025. Visit our Kaltura Adoption webpage for more information on the timeline, support, and answers to your questions. 

Why are we moving to Kaltura? 

ITS regularly evaluates our technology platforms to ensure students, staff, and faculty have access to the most appropriate tools and to ensure the needs of the community are being met in the most efficient and effective manner. 

With support from the Academic Technology Committee, ITS evaluated Panopto, Kaltura, and Canvas Studio, the major vendors in the asynchronous higher-education video platform market. Considering our requirements, Kaltura was the most attractive option from a feature and financial perspective, providing all the functionality currently available in Panopto, a more user-friendly experience, additional features that support our institutional goals, and competitive contract terms.

ITS does not take a migration of this magnitude lightly and understands the effort associated with a technology change. Kaltura is a better choice for Clark and we are committed to supporting the campus to make the transition as smooth and easy as possible.
