Download Kaltura or YouTube Captions in SRT format to a Word Document (.docx)

Learn how to easily download SRT caption files from Kaltura and YouTube and convert them into editable text for blog posts or lecture notes. First, access your video’s captions through the platform's editing options, download the SRT file, and then rename the file extension from .srt to .txt. This simple step allows you to open and edit the captions in tools like Notepad or Wordpad, giving you clean, usable text without timecodes.

For a faster solution, use online converters like Happy Scribe to convert SRT files into Word documents, automatically stripping out the timecodes. From there, you can use tools like ChatGPT to summarize or expand the text, creating optimized content for blogs, descriptions, or notes. This approach not only saves time but also enhances the SEO and reach of your video content.

Design Expanding Accordions with AI for Moodle 4.1 Using ChatGPT

Learn how to use generative AI to customize HTML elements for Moodle, like accordion expanding boxes. Start by inserting basic accordion HTML code into Moodle's HTML editor. Generative AI can then expand this code, creating multiple sections or subsections, enabling you to efficiently organize and enhance your course content.

To add more sections, copy your initial HTML and ask the AI to generate additional expanding boxes with unique identifiers. This prevents the issue of multiple boxes opening or closing simultaneously. After generating the new HTML, paste it into Moodle, and modify the content to fit your course needs.

Generative AI can also help refine titles or add subsections, providing a powerful way to streamline content creation and improve course structure in Moodle.

Add a Moodle Assignment with Turnitin Plagiarism Checking Turned On

In this video, we learn how to set up a Moodle assignment with Turnitin, focusing on enabling the Similarity Report and AI detection. We start by creating the assignment, adjusting submission and due dates, and configuring Turnitin to check student submissions against databases of academic papers, the internet, and stored student work. Key settings like excluding bibliographies and small matches are discussed, along with options for generating reports immediately or after the due date, allowing students to revise their work if necessary.

We also explore Turnitin’s grading tools, including Quick Marks for adding feedback directly to submissions and using rubrics for consistent grading. Once assignments are submitted, we review Similarity Reports and AI detection results, applying feedback and grades using the provided tools. This ensures a thorough review of student work for both originality and potential AI-generated content.

Enhancing Moodle Course Headers Using AI-Generated HTML

In this instructional video, viewers are guided through the process of enhancing a Moodle course header by integrating HTML code generated with AI. The tutorial provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to incorporating an image with overlay text into the header section. Beginning with the selection and upload of an image from a stock website, it then demonstrates how to use ChatGPT to produce a div element that displays the image and text, such as “Welcome to Video Editing Essentials.” This approach aims to add visual depth and interactivity to the Moodle interface while keeping accessibility in mind.
