v3.8-r2 (2020041700)

New features

  • Integrate Opencast Studio in the Block: A new admin setting can activate a 'Record Video' button, which allows to connect to an Opencast studio installation on the opencast admin node.
  • Button for adding an LTI module: Teachers can be allowed to automatically add an LTI tool for displaying the course series within the course. A new admin setting allows to choose an external tool configuration, which is used as a default for the created LTI module.
  • New admin setting for allowed video file types: A new setting lets the admin configure, which file types are allowed for the uploaded videos.

Technical features

  • Updated list of default ACL roles within the admin setting, when first installing the plugin.

  • Added possibility to add metadata to an event both during upload and for already existing events.
  • The metadata that can be set by the teacher can be specified in the admin interface.
  • Metadata fields can be set as required or read-only.
  • Added second stream in the upload form.

New requirements

Requires new version of tool_opencast: v3.8-r1

v3.7-r1 (2019052900)

Backup and Restore

Thanks to Synergy Learning and the ETH Zürich, it is now possible to store the event ids of Opencast videos within a course backup. During restore, Opencast is triggered to create a series for the new course and copy the respective opencast events to the new course. With this feature, reusing events throughout several semesters gets much easier.

Other new features

  • The event overview shows to new status:
    • Needs cutting: Each event which is in opencast status PROCESSED, has previews and is only published to 'internal'.
    • Capturing: Each event which is currently in opencast status RECORDING.
  • Learner and Instructor roles are now created on first installation.
  • Setting for creating a opencast group creation is now set to false by default.

New settings

  • duplicateworkflow: Workflow which will duplicate the events of a backup during restore. If not set, the backup and restore functionality is deactivated.

Small changes

  • Fixed naming of section in admin settings containing the settings for group and series creation.

Technical features

  • Prettified code structure of admin settings page.
  • Added behat tests for the UI.

v3.6-r1 (2018112900)

  • Added additional privacy interfaces
