Award-winning video creation, editing, storage, and hosting Panopto has arrived to Coast!
Upcoming Workshops on Panopto!
Presenting with Panopto - virtual training
Panopto is Coast's next-generation video creation, editing, storage, and sharing system. The system replaced Knowmia, and it is mighty powerful. The new system works alone or within Canvas. Making presentations and lectures could not be any easier. The best part is you are in control. In this workshop, you will be introduced to the online system, learn how to make videos, manage your videos, and add Panopto videos to your classes. Finally, we will show you can continue to get support, training, and resources.
Each of these links will take you to Cornerstone to RSVP for the workshops.
