Does anyone have experience with Panopto for lecture capture?  How do you like it?

Hi Emily
My old institution used it.
You can see a basic write up about it in the Handbook we did.

Or directly to the chapter: 


I am sure David would be fine if you emailed him directly.

Thanks
Patrick

We use Panopto at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.  I use it both as a faculty member as well as support it on the staff side.  For the novice faculty member who just wants to record a lecture with no fuss, you can't beat it.  Launch the software and press record.  The recording of course is only as good as your microphone(s).  What it lacks in my opinion is the ability to edit the lecture after the fact.  Most of my faculty members would not use this feature anyways so it is no loss for them.  Panopto has worked on improving its editing features over the years, but it still does not have the capabilities for editing/post production that something like Camtasia would offer.  If you would like to discuss further off list, feel free to email me directly.

Hi Emily. Gordon College signed on with Panopto last Summer and are very happy with it. We went with the hosted service, and the support is superb.

Some key features for us:
 - it allows us to use the same platform for scheduled room recordings, faculty initiated recordings (in class or whenever), student recordings (in labs), and uploading pre-recorded files
 - it integrates well, and easily, with Blackboard, the Web, and mobile devices
 - it is very versatile in what it can record: audio is a must, but you can add multiple, synchronized, video "streams" in any combination… screen capture, video camera(s), VGA source, Powerpoint file…
 - the Web interface allows for searching, indexing, and notes (by professor or student, and they can be private or shared) 

Some weaknesses:
 - the Mac and Windows recorders are not at parity
 - no Remote Recorder for the Mac (scheduled recordings)
 - video quality is lower than is possible with a single stream player; a necessary compromise because of all it does and to reduce the bandwidth requirement for viewers.

I'd be happy to answer specific questions. - Paul

I agree with Robert. There are some basic editing functions, but it doesn't compare with Camtasia. But it is meant for a full classroom setup so can take several device hookups like multiple cameras and other things. We have a setup that is integrated with Moodle. Here are my very basic instructions to faculty. http://www2.oakland.edu/elis/traindocs/panopto/panopto.html

Our Medical School uses this the most and have had a learning curve with it, but so far so good.

Emily,

 

Butler University is a heavy user of Panopto. After a focused pilot in the fall of 2009, we opened the system to campus and it used in all of our colleges in some form as well as for field recording for student teaching and related activities.  At present we have more than 30 rooms equipped with Panopto in a variety of combinations - primarily audio and screen capture only but we also have a number of rooms equipped with fixed cameras for  audio/video/screen capture. The recorder is installed on every classroom computer so that when needed, we can deploy wireless mics to satisfy on-demand screen/audio capture. It's been very successful (more than 11,000 captured sessions to date) and both faculty and students respond positively to its ease of use. Our faculty and students, particularly in our College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences rely on the ability to take inline notes which has facilitated self, peer-peer and faculty assessment. The online editor in 4.1 allows editing after the fact, but we have just started using that feature. If you would like to know more about our experience, feel free to contact Jeana Rogers, jcroger1@butler.edu

Emily,

Creighton University has about 125 classrooms equipped with Panopto and have been using it for almost two years now.  Each room has a mounted microphone array and stationary camera.  There are 342 licensed recorders so that shows we also have a lot of individuals with the recorder on their own computer.  This was one of the reasons we went with a software based solution (such as Panopto or Tegrity) vs a hardware based solution.  We average between 60 and 80 sessions recorded per day and currently have 9274 recordings.  Our system is integrated with the ANGEL LMS which handles both access to recordings and login to the recording software.  However we are in the middle of transiting from ANGEL to Canvas and still do not have that integration in place yet.

If you'd like to know more about our set up you can contact myself, or Brent Saltzman at the contact information below.

Panopto, Echo360, Camtasia Relay, Mediasite, Tegrity, OpenCast Matterhorn, and other lecture capture solutions, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, and keep getting better all the time.

At UIC, we use Echo360, which we like very much, although it is far from perfect.  

I also find the Echo360-supplied LMS add-on for Blackboard Learn rather rudimentary and limited.  Last Fall, I took a closer look at the LMS integrations done by several of the other lecture capture systems, only to find that their integrations were just as poor and mundane.

Also, check out the various Educause resources on lecture capture, available at http://www.educause.edu/Resources/Browse/ContentCapture/34358 ...and don't underestimate the wealth of valuable information that a single tweet inquiry or wall posting on Google+ or Facebook can generate on this or other subjects.

Emily—

 

The deal breaker for me with Panopto, which I’ve told them several times, is that it doesn’t do live webcasting.  That may not be important for you, but it is for me.  I’ve used Mediasite by Sonic Foundry for about 8 years now and have been very pleased with its quality and reliability.

I'm not sure where you received your information from because Panopto does do live web casting and has for the last two years we've been using it.
