An essential tool for online university lectures!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been teaching online at the university level since 2011. In the past, I had upload narrated PowerPoints to a different online platform to be embedded in my D2L classroom. I had nothing but problems with this approach; the audio never came through in the final versions. Ponopto has completely solved this problem for me. Narrating PowerPoints and embedding them in my classes has never been easier! I just launch the app that I downloaded to my Macbook pro; I launch my PowerPoint, and I record. (I did have to look up instructions online, however. It wasn't obvious to me how to record a narrated PowerPoint. I just googled my questions, and I easily found the answers. I was up and running within minutes!) Once I'm somewhat happy with my narration, I upload the final version to the Panopto website; I grab the embed code, and I add it to my class. Easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I downloaded the Panopto application to my Macbook Pro for recording my PowerPoint lectures. One thing I dislike is that Panopto records the moment I press the record button, meaning that it records the couple seconds it takes me to go to PowerPoint and to start my slideshow. There is a way to edit these seconds out once the PowerPoint lecture is uploaded to the Panopto site, but it takes a little extra knowledge and time. Also, I haven't quite figured out if it's possible to record a split screen with me on one side and my PowerPoint on the other. I've never attended (and never have been offered, to my recollection) a Panopto training session or class. I think it would be helpful to go through some sort of training. Nevertheless, Panopto is easy enough to use that I've muddled through without instruction so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto allows me to deliver the same lecture I would deliver in a face-to-face setting to students in an online environment. It allows me to to record lectures when it's convenient to me, and it allows my students to watch them when it's convenient for them. It makes non-synchronous learning possible, and it enhances online learning because it puts my voice, my knowledge, my experience, and my enthusiastic personality in the hands of distance learners.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you implement Panopto, I think it would be worth offering training in the beginning and also as new team members joint the organization. I'm sure Panopto is capable of doing more than I know because I am teaching myself how to use the application through trial and error. It is a time consuming way to learn, but it is possible to get quite far with Panopto without training or support. It is a really easy platform to use, after all.
Fantastic software for AMS (televised) classes - online coursework
What do you like best about the product?
Easy access to recorded classroom lectures and presentations makes review possible and catching up after an absence a cinch
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be difficult to find a place in a long video- I wish the user could set personal bookmarks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the university, we are able to make classes from other campuses available to our own and vice versa, greatly increasing the variety of courses students can take (and participants they can work with)
Panopto for presentations
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, quick to learn, great for sharing with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface seems too large.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability for faculty to record class lectures has proved beneficial.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a wonderful lecture capture solution.
Reliable, Easy to Use Lecture Capture System
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto has been reliable for our institution and they continue to add new features. The addition of automatic captions for our videos has increased accessibility of our video content. Sharing and creating videos is very easy. We also really enjoy that we can create videos using Zoom or other video creation and upload the media easily. Table of contents to create jump points in the video is nice as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration process with our LMS is a little bit wonky. Some of our role types cause the system to time out. However, it works just fine for students and instructors. It is just difficult for other role types to use it. The Panopto recorder software could use a performance and visual boost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for lecture capture for our online courses. Having the videos hosted in our Panopto cloud has been a big advantage over having instructors throw videos on YouTube. This is more secure and gives us the ability to have a consistent content experience for the students and instructors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider upgrading your support package to get more end-user support.
No editing power
What do you like best about the product?
Perfect program for making a presentation and a video at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way this records. If you make a mistake you have to start over. It's very difficult to export videos you've made. And you can't upload them unless someone else creates a folder for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can make presentations for viewing at different times at the convenience of the viewer.
Used panapto to re-watch lecture videos for class.
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciated the ability to watch videos at different speeds. I specifically enjoyed the 1.75X speed. I also enjoyed that you can search the entire video for a word that was verbally expressed (as well as textual.) I also liked the option to go forward 30sec or back 10sec.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options when trying to resize the window for the video where most of the window consisted of the video. I also would have preferred to have an option to get rid of the slide preview that was shown at the bottom. I wish there was an option to go backwards 30sec on the non full screen screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to go back and review things that were discussed. Benefit is that you have something that everyone can go back to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool to easily go back and review lectures or meetings.
A learning experience
What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to record a presentation for future use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to figure out how to link the power point to the presentation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I developed a business plan related to a nutrition services clinic at my work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch training videos to assist with using the product.
Amazing educational tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user friendly it is to use Panopto! My favorite feature is the ability to speed up the video and the audio does not become distorted. It is also very helpful that is has a frame by frame scroll bar this also it to very easy forward ahead to the exact moment you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Panopto is the buffering time. By that I mean at time I want to jump to a different part of the video and it lags behind to catch up to that moment. This especially happens when I have a video set at a higher speed the respond time for my commands takes longer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has help with clarity! We used them as educational video and I love the ease I have to be able to reference back to them.
Good in theory, poor in execution
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to watch lectures online, pause, change speed
What do you dislike about the product?
no note-taking platform that I can use, constantly having to fix recordings because they are choppy or poor quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the ability to stream lectures to people not on campus
Recommendations to others considering the product:
have lots of tech support handy
