Panopto is our new Video Library and video content management system.
Panopto is the video platform solution that will help us to provide video content to students faster (as it is directly integrated with Zoom and your Moodle courses), better (as you can create playlists and search in videos for key words), and with a focus on positive student engagement and experiences (start discussions, track student engagement, and more).
What does Panopto do?
- Plays multiple content streams including video of presenter, the presentation, and any videos played in meeting or session.
- Automatically captions and provides transcripts of video content using Automatic Speech Recognition.
- Built-in search capabilities utilise the transcript and any text in slides on the video to allow students to find just what they are looking for in any video.
- An online video editing tool lets you edit your video in any web browser.
- Any meeting recordings are automatically transferred from Zoom to the video library after the session is ended.
- The integration with Moodle is full and complete so all content is available automatically in Moodle for you to assign and/or schedule in different ways.
