Since being introduced in the fall of 2016, Panopto has become a staple in over 20 courses on our campus. Its heaviest use is for recorded lectures in online courses, and to a lesser extent, for lectures in face to face courses, and also for accepting student video assignments.
The open-source video platform Kaltura, recently released their 6th annual report on the State of Video in Education. The majority of participants were from higher education, and the report shares how educational institutions are utilizing video and explores its impact as a teaching tool. Video can be used to personalize the learning experience, even in a traditional academic institution, by offering video as a choice in the use of tools and assessments. Despite the hesitation among some instructors to foray into recording, typically through an aversion to video and/or audio recordings of themselves, a lack of resources, or an intimidation by the technology, video is undeniably a solution in providing flexibility for all students.
