Uses for Panopto
The Panopto video management system makes it easy to share videos with your class through Canvas.
Panopto can be used in a variety of ways:
Automatic classroom recording. Some classrooms at Penn are outfitted with special capabilities that allow you to have your class sessions automatically recorded. For details, visit https://www.isc-cts.upenn.edu/recording/recording.asp
Creating “screencast” videos using your own computer. With the Panopto Recorder software, you can record your voice, webcam, and on-screen activity. For example, you can record yourself giving a Powerpoint presentation or demonstrating how to use specialized software. Just about anything you do on your computer can be turned into a recorded presentation and published on your Canvas site.
Upload other videos. If you have film clips, audio recordings, or other media files, you can upload them to Panopto and share them with your classes through Canvas.
Student projects. You can create assignments in Canvas where students record and post their own videos.
