Panopto_logo

 is a lecture capture application designed to capture, edit, and stream audio and video. ܽƵ has a site license for Panopto that allows faculty or students to easily create a narrated PowerPoint video, a screencast of anything on a computer screen with audio, or a video stream from a webcam (or any other video source attached to their computer like a document camera)  into a video that can then be shared with students either within a Bridges course, a faculty website or even via e-mail. Panopto is only available through Bridges.

Videos created externally (for example using a smartphone or other video recording software) may also be uploaded to Panopto to be streamed online. Podcasts can be created on Panopto or served from Panopto as well.

ܽƵ faculty and students can create videos by running Panopto Capture directly in their browser (Chrome is recommended) or download and install the Panopto recorder locally on their home or office computer (Mac or Windows).  Videos can be viewed directly from the Panopto tool from a Bridges course menu or viewed from a personal or topical folder on the Panopto server

Student Video Assignments

If you would like your students to create videos for your course you can also add an Assignment folder within the Panopto course folder (the Assignment folder will be a subfolder). Students would then go into the Bridges course - click on the Panopto tool from the course menu, select the Assignment folder and then click on the Create button. The recordings will then show up in the course Assignment folder and be visible to the instructor.
