The centrally managed lecture capture service is provided via the Panopto system. This one-hour training workshop will introduce teachers and eLearning support staff how to easily record their lectures using a classroom PC or their own laptops, and easily link a recording stored on a local Panopto server with an e-course in the central learning management system Moodle.

Using Panopto can be as simple as recording a teacher’s audio over a PowerPoint presentation. For advanced use, Panopto supports multiple video sources, like web camera, ceiling camera, and a visualizer with images of presentation materials.

A Pancast is stored in a server in the University and can be easily viewed over the web by students, especially from linked Moodle courses.
