Panopto Lecture Capture & Video Content Management System (Module 1)

The hardware technologies available in the general purpose classrooms at my institution are a desk top computer running Windows, a document camera, a data projector/screen, amplifiers/speakers, a document camera, and a lecture capture and video content management system (Panopto). The internet and software technologies are MS Office, the internet, and the learning management system (D2L). I am comfortable with all of these except Panopto.

The roll-out for Panopto on my campus was last year, Fall 2015. As of yet, IT has not provided any face-to-face professional development opportunities. However, IT has posted detailed directions on the use of Panopto (20 pages!), which if I have trouble following, I can ask that department for assistance. In addition, IT has listed supplemental resources outside of the college. These resources are from Panopto (n.d.), which also has a YouTube channel (Panopto, n.d.) showing videos such as “An Overview of Panopto” and “How Faculty Use Panopto at SUNY-Lake Oswego .

Others have added videos about Panopto on YouTube, such as “How to View a Recording” (Panopto Tester, 2011) and “How to Record a Voiceover PowerPoint or Keynote using Panopto” (2013). In addition, Newton, Tucker, Dawson, and Currie’s (2014) article on using lecture capture in higher education explains how to get started using lecture capture and provides recommendations for possible problems.

Even more resources are available on Educause, such as “Effective Use of Lecture Capture: Lessons from a Large Lecture Hall Course Project” (Garwood & Linardopoulos, 2015). After reading about all the wonderful ways to use Panopto, I would like to see the college’s IT department provide face-to-face instructional sessions to more fully support classroom technology.
