Creating and sharing video is a powerful means of communication. In an academic setting, it creates opportunities for diverse methods of teaching and learning that instructors and students alike can take advantage of. With webcams and smartphones becoming almost universally available, the means for producing and sharing recordings has never been more accessible.

At Dominican, we've adopted the Panopto video streaming service as our platform for sharing video. In no small part, we chose Panopto due to the quality of its integration with the Canvas learning management system that is used by virtually all of our students and faculty. You'll find that making videos using Panopto is pretty easy.

The material in this course is arranged so that you will first get an understanding of what the Panopto service can do. After this, you'll quickly learn the steps required to record and publish a basic presentation using Panopto. We'll then move on to demonstrate how you can incorporate slide presentations and other programs into your Panopto recordings.

Finally, after learning the essentials of using Panopto, you'll find additional tutorials assembled within the "Advanced Topics" module. In addition to allowing you to take advantage of more of Panopto's capabilities, these tutorials may help you to "bump up your game" as you further explore the possibilities of making and sharing recordings using Panopto.
