What to Look For When Comparing
Video Management Systems

Video technology is shaping learning – especially in higher education. With a variety of platforms to help create, manage, and distribute video content, you want to weigh all options to ensure you are choosing the best VMS for your needs. Some things to look out for include:

• Integrations. Ensure that your existing video conferencing tool and LMS integrate with your video library. 
• User Experience. Viewing, uploading, capturing video, live webcasting, and managing video content all must be intuitive to learn and simple to perform.
• Scalability. The ability to scale use easily and based on demand is critical to the success of your VMS.
• Company Reputation. Consider a reputable VMS trusted by your peers in higher education.
• Customer Support. Determine the level of support included with your VMS, including whether or not they will assist in the migration of content from your previous platform.

Panopto: Dedicated to Supporting your Institution’s Goals

Integration of video into your classroom ecosystem will benefit both faculty and students:

Make your institution more competitive and support student enrollment.

Trends in higher education technology show that asynchronous education video content is going to be a key part of higher ed’s approach to more flexible and future-proof learning delivery moving forward. What’s more, students now expect flexible and accessible learning experiences from their universities, and consider this an important factor when choosing an institution to enroll in.

Improve learning outcomes, student satisfaction, and engagement. 

Panopto’s engagement analytics allow educators to dive deep into student insights, improving access to learning outcomes. Detailed reports on audience engagement and comprehensive insights into viewing behavior are available for every video. Panopto helps improve student engagement and satisfaction by offering personalized learning opportunities, whether it’s the opportunity to focus on class material instead of taking notes or by including interactive features within the learning videos like quizzing and discussion threads. 

Boost faculty satisfaction and productivity.

With streamlined workflows and automatically captured live sessions, Panopto easily integrates into any classroom experience and helps faculty do less manual work so they can focus on their teaching. Your VMS should act as the central hub between any and every video conferencing tool and LMS you might have. Through integrations, you can also add, create, and ingest video without any additional software, and without ever having to leave your LMS environment. You can use a recording device on-premise or in the cloud from any web browser or smartphone, and your videos are automatically uploaded to Panopto and shared with users.

Enable flexible learning experiences, making equitable learning accessible to all.

A VMS offers students the opportunity to learn at a pace that works the best for their needs. Through on-demand lecture videos, students are able to watch learning videos at convenient times, include captions for accessibility, and rewatch important videos while studying. In addition, if you are using Panopto as your VMS, searching through your entire video library is as easy as searching through your email. Panopto’s Smart Search feature uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to automatically index and time-stamp every word that’s spoken or displayed on-screen in 15 different languages.
