Technology Overview
Panopto is RIT's course video hosting and streaming platform. It allows instructors to share videos in myCourses automatically to students enrolled in that course. Playback is adjusted to ensure smooth viewing across a variety of devices. Instructors can make their media accessible through the use of captions and an interactive, searchable transcript. Instructors can facilitate video-based assignments, discussions, and quizzes. Panopto also includes recording tools and lightweight editing software that can be used instead of Camtasia.
