Kaltura’s MediaSpace<\/a> is a great place to host your educational media in a collection that can be organized to optimize your gallery. However, there are a few steps that you need to take to ensure your experience is the most efficient it can be. Unlike computer hard drives, Kaltura’s MediaSpace does not come with a file-folder structure. Instead, there are systems in place to help you find your media quickly and efficiently<\/a>. However, in order to capitalize on that feature, users will need to take steps to use naming conventions<\/a> and tagging systems<\/a> that make sense to them. Some recommendations are offered below<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First, to navigate to your My Media\u00a0<\/strong>page:<\/p>\n

  1. Log into MediaSpace<\/a> with your\u00a0MyCarletonOne<\/em> credentials.<\/li>\n

    Table View<\/a><\/dt>

    <\/p>\n

    The Table View<\/em>, which is the default view,\u00a0has many important pieces of information right within the Table. Each row in the Table represents one media item and at the very left is the media item’s name. From there, there are a series of pieces of information:<\/p>\n
