Campus Lecture Capture Tool and Video Content Management System
Panopto is the officially supported lecture capture solution for the District, designed to facilitate easy recording and reviewing of videos from courses, lectures, and presentations. This cloud-enabled service simplifies both the lecture capture and video creation processes while offering long-term cloud storage for your videos. Videos recorded in Panopto can be viewed on most web browsers and mobile devices, making it highly accessible.
Panopto is available free of charge to all faculty and staff. Both students and staff can create recordings and share them with their college community. This flexibility allows students to create recordings for class assignments, faculty to record lectures and presentations for student access, and staff to develop training videos for students and employees.
- Students who miss class can catch up on the material, reducing the need for re-teaching during office hours.
- If students do not understand something the first time around, they can listen to the lecture again at their own speed and pause the recording to take notes. This is especially helpful for ESL students and students with disabilities.
- Students can review the lectures to help them study for class or exams.
- Automatic closed-captioning for all video upload and auto-transferred Zoom cloud recording sessions.
- Auto-indexing for all content: searchability, optical content recognition, long-term archiving.
- Integrated video editing capabilities (non-destructive editing).
- Lecture capture/live event content auto-sync.
- Deep integration with Canvas and Zoom: As Zoom users, all cloud recordings generated from meetings scheduled within your Canvas course shell will be automatically filed in the course folder at the end of each session. You can simply refer your students to navigate to Panopto in the Canvas course shell to access all course lectures and videos.
FERPA prohibits the disclosure of personally identifiable student records without the student's written consent. Students can be identified through video, audio, or other means in these recordings.
If your recorded lectures are made available to an audience beyond the specific course section being recorded, and if students are personally identifiable in these recordings, FERPA requires written consent from the students for such disclosure.
Regardless of the intended audience, you should inform your students that the course is being recorded and will be available for later playback by those enrolled in the course.
For instructional content such as course and lecture recordings: Videos that have not been viewed in the previous 18 months will be archived for 3 months and then deleted.
For non-instructional content such as meeting recordings: Videos that have not been viewed in the previous 12 months will be archived for 3 months and then deleted.
If you do not wish to have your videos turned into archived mode, simply view them before the 12 or 18 months interval to reset the viewership timer.
