Student Learning with Panopto

• Faculty are "Creators" and students are "Viewers" meaning students can't create video by default.
• The only way students can be Creators of videos is if faculty create a Video Assignment in Blackboard.
• Panopto delivers your video using secure HLS streaming. 
• Videos on Panopto are not downloadable unless individually faculty chooses to give students permission.
• Faculty have the option to share a specific video or folder with a student outside the class.
• Videos created in Panopto will have a small USD watermark on the video.

You can record videos, watch lectures and manage your own videos right inside the Panopto mobile app.

At the moment, it is not critical to transfer your files over and you can keep your links in your courses as you have them. ITS will contact you if that changes in the future. With the Panopto upload feature, you do have the ability to transfer your videos from Mediasite/Ensemble to Panopto. 

However, with Panopto you can:

• Consolidate your videos to a single platform for your own organizational purposes
• Transfer files over to a specific Panopto Video class folder
• Utilize the unlimited storage Panopto provides and upload any HD file
• Allow students to view your videos inside the feature-rich interactive Panopto player
