Dear Faculty,

As we near the end of the semester, it is important to archive Panopto content that you may need for future use. Fall 2022 Panopto course folders are scheduled to be removed on Thursday, December 15th, to avoid any conflicts with the start of the Spring 2023 semester. Lectures will not be easily recoverable once removed. Please be aware that students completing a course late (Incomplete) will NOT have access to recorded lectures unless they have been archived.

For assistance with this process, or to have a private folder created, please contact your college Panopto Administrator, or send an email to the Faculty Multimedia Center (FMC@ucf.edu).

Training Opportunities

For anyone who is new to Panopto or would simply like a refresher, we encourage you to enroll in Panopto Essentials, or to attend an in-person Panopto workshop at the newly redesigned Faculty Multimedia Center (FMC) in Classroom Building 1 (CB1). This hour-long workshop, if attended in full, is equivalent to completing Panopto Essentials and grants access to Panopto in eligible academic courses.

At the FMC, you will not only have the opportunity to speak with a Panopto administrator from the university, but you can also explore the various technologies and services offered to all UCF faculty, such as lightboards, audio and video recording, 3D printing, and AR/VR tools.

The FMC has Spring Panopto workshops scheduled for the following dates and times:

• Wednesday, December 14th from 9AM – 10AM
• Thursday, December 15th from 3PM – 4PM
• Friday, December 16th from 12PM – 1PM
• Tuesday, January 3rd from 12PM – 1PM
  

To sign up for a workshop, or to book an individual or group appointment for more personalized help, please reach out to the Faculty Multimedia Center (FMC@ucf.edu) and specify the date and time you are interested in attending.

Continued Access to Panopto

We hope that Panopto has been an effective and impactful tool for you and your students. If you plan to use Panopto again in an upcoming semester, have previously completed training, but do not have the ability to enable the “Video Lecture Capture” option in the Faculty Webcourses Manager, please contact Webcourses@UCF Support.

Please note, if the “Video Lecture Capture” option is selected for your upcoming spring courses, the Panopto Videos integration will be automatically added to the navigation menu in your Webcourses@UCF course shortly after fall course folders have been removed. If you are interested in recording content early, we recommend recording to your private folder in Panopto, then moving the content to your academic course folder once it has been generated.

For all other questions or concerns related to Panopto, please contact Webcourses@UCF Support.

Thank you,
