There are three stages to recording your lectures / content and making them available to students via Moodle.
The first time you log in to Panopto, you'll be prompted to read the university's End User License Agreement (EULA). You should read this for yourself, to ensure that you are happy with it, but essentially it means that you are allowing the university to store and play back your recording on Panopto, and that your recording will only be used for educational purposes. If you are happy to use Panopto, click "Accept".
Prior to actually using the Panopto software, you must log into Moodle and synchronise the Panopto system with your details. This is known as "Provisioning your Course" and simple instructions on how this is done are detailed in the following video.
Once the course is provisioned, you are able to use Panopto to record content for that course.
The Panopto client is now installed onto every fixed teaching "Podium" PC in every Lecture Theatre and Seminar room across the university. However, while the software and a microphone (fixed to the desk or lapel mike) is installed, cameras are not installed at every location, meaning audio recordings only can be made with desktop capture. The Lecture Theatres and Classrooms in Stockwell Street are all equipped with the compatible cameras, and ILS will concentrate on upgrading Lecture Theatres across the rest of the campuses in the coming months.
For a local copy of the Panopto software for home PCs and Laptops and for Mac OS devices, you can download the software by login in to , clicking on the 'Create' button and selecting the top option, Panopto or Windows/Mac (as applicable), then clicking on Download Panopto (your device will be recognised and the appropriate version of the software downloaded).
You can select to see all available versions for Windows and Mac OS platforms. The videos below also detail the process.
If appropriate, lectures should include a PowerPoint slide reminding the audience that the class is being recorded. A recommended slide is available to be downloaded here.
The Panopto recorder will automatically upload your recordings so you can easily share them with your students via Moodle. Before they can see it, you will still need to approve the recording. There is a very simple editing function within the Panopto software, instructions are available on the (opens in a new page)
The final process is to approve the recording which will publish it on the server and create a link to the file in the students' Moodle environment course so that they can easily find it. .
