Useful Tools for Video Management / Production in L&T

Panopto@EdUHK

Panopto is a video management platform that allows teachers and students to record, edit, share and manage videos.

Panopto can be used for recording live lectures, creating instructional videos and creating student assessments. For example, students can submit videos as assignments, quiz questions can be embedded into lecture videos and be used as timely assessments when students watch the videos. With Panopto, teachers can easily view analytics reports that show which students watched each video, how long students watched videos before dropping off, and more. It’s valuable information that allows teachers to monitor student progress and identify specific moments where students are most engaged in learning.

Students can take notes that are saved as personal bookmarks, speed up and slow down video playback, and even search for any word spoken or shown in the video and instantly jump to a specific, relevant moment as they are studying.

Tips
