Panopto
Panopto is recording software that integrates with Blackboard. Faculty often use this tool to post videos for students to view, but students can also submit their own videos to Blackboard as course assignments. Faculty and students can provide timestamped feedback on videos. For faculty who have previously used Swivl to have students reflect on their teaching, Panopto can be used in a similar way.
You can log into Panopto using your TU NetID to record, access, share, and comment on videos.
All TU faculty, staff, and students have access to Panopto. OTS has a dedicated Panopto page for training resources.
