Smart Media Filter

Smart media aims to enhance Moodle's processing and delivery of multimedia while simplifying the process of managing multimedia for teachers and students.

Smart media leverages cloud services provided through Amazon Web Services (AWS) in order to conduct video transcoding into required formats and provide additional analytics functionality for multimedia.

The Smart Media Filter (this plugin) works to help display smart media content in Moodle courses and resources.
