Panopto

Some of your lecturers may be currently creating videos for your classes by using a tool named Panopto. This tool is a cloud based video platform that facilitates the recording, sharing, editing and management of video content and is the leading video content management system for Higher Education. It is integrated with Brightspace and can be accessed from your computer, laptop or mobile device

1. Panopto provides a simpler method of accessing video content.  Video recording will be available for viewing directly in Brightspace. The online web player is compatible with all pc, mac and mobile devices.  
2. Students will have access to any video shared with them in their video library. 
3. Students will be able to review key sections of the lecture recordings to assist in the learning process.
4. Students will be able to easily search any video for specific words or phrases enabling them to quickly find relevant information.
5. Students will have the ability to change the video quality and playback speed based on their own specific needs and broadband connection speed

Please note it is also possible to use the Panopto mobile App for IOS & Android to record and upload media to an assignment folder.  Once you have the App downloaded you can login to it using your UL Student email address and password.

Full instructions with regard to using the mobile app are available here:
