Auto Record with Panopto Remote Recorder
With every new semester there comes a lot of preparation and planning several month's worth of lectures. Instructors have busy schedules and can't always find the time to learn how to record their live lectures in the classroom.
I decided against recording my live classroom lectures because it just took too much time and manual work at the beginning and end of class to get it all setup and saved properly.
Most certainly you have said or at least had the same thought as the above.
Well, worry no more with the Panopto Remote Recorder software! This software takes all the setup out of your hands.
What is this Panopto Remote Recorder software?
It is an application that, by request, can be installed on a classroom computer and can automatically record a single event or a weekly recurring lecture. Once you have filled out the proper request form, a UArizona campus Panopto admin can schedule your recordings based on the location, date, and time of your lectures. The recordings will then be automatically uploaded to the Panopto folder of your choice. Depending on the specific technology in the classroom the software can record audio from a microphone source, video if a webcam is installed, as well as anything that occurs on the instructor computer screen.
All that is required from the instructor is:
- Show up to the classroom.
- Login to the instructor computer.
- Teach the class as they normally do.
The recording will automatically start and end at the date/time it was scheduled. Once the class is over it automatically uploads to the appropriate Panopto folder.
If you are interested in scheduling your lectures to automatically record with Panopto, make your request by filling out the Schedule Lecture Recordings Request Form (opens in a new tab).
