Panopto’s mission is to democratize knowledge sharing with video. To expand access to video beyond the realm of the technical experts and the dedicated production environments — and make it possible for anyone with a thought to share to just press “record”.

For schools and universities, that means real, flexible lecture capture — video that meets the needs of recording the classroom, as well as enabling close-up demonstrations, mini “flipped-classroom” recorded lectures, virtual office hours where students can find recorded answers to common questions, and more. The teacher, not the technology, decides how video can contribute to the classroom.

For businesses and organizations, democratization opens the door to making a more compelling case — recording presentations to supplement proposals, including video to make corporate communications more engaging, simplifying executive communications without requiring production specialists, and creating a social learning platform that any employee can use to share best practices, institutional knowledge, and strategic insights with their peers.

Video is changing the way we teach, learn, and share ideas — giving everyone the chance to go beyond text and instead tap into the power of video to share ideas, make cases, and present information.

This week we saw more educational and entertaining recordings among the latest presentations shared online with Panopto. And in the spirit of passing it on, these are just a few of the ideas shared this week with Panopto’s video recording software.

Sit in with the University of Kent for this instructional recording that challenges the assumption of political non-participation as apathy and instead considers whether other factors may truly be at play.
