Teaching Scenarios

What is Panopto?

Panopto is a complete video management platform that provides a suite of web-based video editing tools for users. It is a tool for recording, organizing, embedding, and live streaming course content, lectures, presentations, and recorded synchronous sessions. It can also be embedded in Canvas courses for video and audio course content, in addition to being used for DIY lecture capture, instructional content, and screencasts.

Why Panopto?

Panopto has been an efficient and effective tool at Sauder for recording student presentations and faculty courses over the past few years. Panopto offers enhanced media features, such as student engagement tools and automatic captioning capabilities. Panopto also offers greater ease of use and better administrative management compared to other video management platforms. Panopto users are able to leverage Panopto’s features outside of their Canvas courses.

Particular Benefits of Panopto include:
