Warpwire in Sakai

Warpwire provides integrated plugins to view and manage media within your LMS. Our seamless LTI integration means that all of Warpwire is accessible from within Sakai. There are no accounts to create. Warpwire integrates with your institution's Single Sign-On system — giving every account access to Warpwire to securely view and manage video according to defined role and group permissions.

Best of all, every feature of Warpwire is easily accessible from within Sakai: capture video, upload, organize, tag, and share. We’ve built Warpwire to function the same way no matter your point of access.
