Getting Started

What is Lecture Capture, and what is Panopto?

Lecture Capture systems record the screen of your instructor's computer, and sometimes a video of the presenter or classroom whiteboard, document camera, or lab experiment. The resulting recording is available to students via Canvas, a web page, email, or other means of distribution. Sometimes lecture capture is used by instructors to record lectures for online classes, or to have you record presentations or exam taking. 

Panopto is the lecture capture system currently in use at Highline and most other colleges in the state of Washington. The system is usually used in connection with Canvas, and you will most likely see it in your class on that system.

Using Panopto

You'll access recordings through a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Most likely, your instructor will link to recordings from your class in Canvas. Your instructor will provide you with details on how a particular class will use Panopto.
