Media (Powered by Panopto)

Media (https://media.lafayette.edu) is the College’s solution for streaming video to public and internal audiences. Powered by Panopto, the platform is typically used to share internal and public-facing videos containing captioning software, public comments, ratings, and more.

It can also be used as an internal-facing tool to stream videos to campus by providing private folders that are only available to specific authenticated users. The service is available to faculty, staff, and students at the College.

Common use cases include:

• Uploading media files of any size
• Supporting multiple publishing formats
• Viewing projects on multiple platforms (Moodle, Spaces, etc.) including mobile devices
• Limiting access to media files if necessary
• Streaming academic video content
• Creating Department Folders to showcase content
• Creating screencasts, video quizzes, and more

For more information, visit Panopto’s Support site which contains a wealth of written documentation and video tutorials.

Panopto for Moodle, is the preferred method of sharing video with students. The Panopto Student Submission activity type can be used to gather work from students, while the Panopto Video Resource can be used to stream course-specific content to students.

All Panopto media content is available from both media.lafayette.edu and the Panopto Block in Moodle/Spaces.
