Panopto Automated lecture Recording System (LRS)

Panopto is installed in 38 lecture theatres and will automatically start recording scheduled lectures 10 minutes past the hour and stop recording on the hour. The lecture video is processed automatically and then published to the learnonline course sites. Students can access the video via the Lecture Recordingsicon in the course menu. Lecturers can edit the video once it is published if they wish to cut sections, add chapter heading, include captions or quizzes.

Online streaming of lectures Using Panopto

You can still reach your students and deliver an online lecture. Panopto allows you to livestream, or webcast, and record that content for student access at a later date. You can deliver your lecture from anywhere with an internet connection.
