What is Panopto?
Panopto is a Lecture Capture system designed for education. Users can record videos, upload existing videos, and share or embed easily. It also integrates well with both Moodle and Zoom. It's basic editing features also lets you trim the heads and tails of your videos, or hack sections from the middle.
Getting started is easy. Simply log into Panopto at https://carleton.hosted.panopto.com, and you’ll be greeted by a series of “getting started” videos on the Home Page.
Before creating new videos, you may want to review Carleton's Instructional Video page, or see what research says about making "Perfect" Instructional Videos.
Once your videos are uploaded or created, you can easily integrate them with Moodle. This short video walks you through the best way to make it happen. You can also take a quick look at the step-by-step instructions below. While there are a couple different ways to embed your Panopto videos into your Moodle course, this is our recommended strategy:
- In Moodle, click Add Activity or Resource > select the Insert Panopto Video option > navigate to your desired video and follow the onscreen instructions.
*Please note that Panopto will automatically “archive” any video that hasn’t been accessed in two years. For information about how to restore archived videos, see Panopto’s documentation. You can also find the video "Restoring Videos" in the collection of tutorials on the Panopto Home Page.
There are a lot of resources available about using Panopto and about creating effective videos.
