Panopto is a cloud-hosted platform for creating, editing, sharing, and watching media. It can create digital recordings of audio, video, and screen content via a software application or a web browser application. Panopto records this content, processes it, and can make the content available on demand, or as downloadable audio and video podcasts. The platform also has robust knowledge assessment functionality and interactive elements. 

Accessibility 

In compliance with the Ohio State Digital Accessibility Policy and Minimum Web Accessibility Standards, all multimedia presentations should provide captioning. 

Panopto will generate captions for all videos automatically, but that alone does not meet the requirement for ADA compliance. System-generated captions must be reviewed and corrected within seven days of publishing to be compliant. 

Security and privacy

If video and audio recordings of class lectures are created, those recordings will be part of the classroom activity. The video and audio recording is used for educational use/purposes and may be made available to all students presently enrolled in the course.

Please keep in mind the data classification for this tool is S3 - Private. You are not permitted to use this tool to disseminate S4 - Restricted data.
