Preparing your Canvas Site for Students to Access Panopto Recordings
Overview
Learn how professors will add the Panopto tool to a course site so that students can create their account and authenticate with the course site.
What Does It Do?
Panopto is a powerful video management platform that allows professors to embed or link videos into a Pepperdine Canvas class site. Students can access these recordings within Pepperdine Canvas on their computers or mobile devices.
How You Can Use It
- Store instructional videos and media in Panopto.
- Save Pepperdine Canvas storage space by embedding the instructional videos (on Pages, in Modules, in Assignments, in Discussions, etc.).
- Provide options to track student engagement with course videos via Panopto.
- Students can view, search, and comment on the videos (if enabled by the instructor).
Instructions
