Panopto
Panopto is the instructional video solution used by Suffolk University and has the capability to offer students a virtual learning experience that includes additional instructor presence, while giving students control of the learning experience. The application can capture any combination of video, audio, lecture slides, and screen recordings. Panopto can be accessed from and utilized within Blackboard.
Panopto recordings can include any combination of video, audio, and slides. Instructors have the ability to capture presentation slides and record animations in full HD (up to 1080p and 60 frames-per-second). The application indexes slide contents for search, as well as automatically creates a table of contents based on slide headings. Panopto also automatically detects viewers’ devices and delivers a playback experience tailored to each individual’s screen size and video capabilities.

Working with recordings
Editing videos
You may want to edit out segments of your video or simply change the title of your recording. Panopto’s video editor makes it easy to edit your video online. You can trim unwanted sections, switch between different video feeds, and embed quizzes.
Creating accessible videos
Video captioning benefits all students by offering text captions that are synchronized with the recording. Students who are hearing impaired or whose first language is not English benefit from video captioning.
