[lita-l] kaltura vs Vimeo

[Cary Gordon]

1.If you can embed objects (like widgets), then you can likely use Vimeo. There are many resources online about embedding Vimeo players in Blackboard. Your experience, of course, may differ. You can Google "embedding Vimeo players in Blackboard" for starters.

2. Yes, Vimeo PRO allows you to brand your players or use a different player of your choice.

3. Yes. It is likely to be as secure as its competition.

If you are going to be doing a lot of this, you might want to consider building your own solution using Amazon S3 and CloudFront.

I use both Vimeo and CloudFront. I do not use BlackBoard.

Thanks,

Cary
