There are two methods of accessing Laurier's Panopto subscription:<\/p>\n\n
\n\t
Panopto web site<\/a> \n\n\t
\n\t\t
Use your standard Laurier login <\/li>\n\t\t
All your content will be kept here; other people can only see it if you have shared it with everyone. Otherwise you can see your content but others logged into Panopto can't.<\/li>\n\t\t
Create and store content within My Folder
\n\t\t <\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
Within MyLearningSpace<\/a>\n\t
\n\t\t
Access Panopto from within a MyLS course.<\/li>\n\t\t
All instruction librarians have access to the Library Test Site course which has Panopto. In this course, go to Contents, then click to open the Panopto folder. Create, store and organize videos here.<\/li>\n\t\t
Panopto isn't included in MyLS courses by default, but you can add it.\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Email myls@wlu.ca to request Panopto in a course. Let them know which course.<\/li>\n\t\t\t
If you don't have a course, or want to set up a new one, email myls@wlu.ca to ask them to set give them the course name you want).

Important note: these two access methods are not interchangeable.

How to edit a video<\/a> (more detailed)<\/p>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t
Tip:<\/strong> Enlarge the Timeline so you can trim and edit more easily.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t
\n\t\t
Where to edit what:<\/strong> Edits to video and captions are in Edit video. Edits to the video title, description, and Contents\/chapters are in Settings.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\tHow to use Smart Chapters<\/a> (Contents)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t
The automatically generated titles are horrible. But it's worth editing them, since chapters let people see what is in the video and jump to specific sections.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t
\n\t\t
An efficient workflow is to take careful note of exactly when (minute:second) each Chapter starts when you review the video, then edit the Contents\/Chapters all at once.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
Add a clip<\/a> (splice multiple videos together) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t
Use to update videos or combine multiple videos to create different versions, e.g. one video used on its own, and also as the first part of a longer version or combined with another video (facets in Omni; facets in Omni and other databases). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t
\n\t\t
Once you add a clip to another video, you can't edit it. Make sure it's in its final form before importing.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t

\n\t
Add a quiz to your video<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t
You can add single quiz questions in a few formats (multiple choice, true\/false, fill in the blanks).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t
\n\t\t
Questions are to check viewer knowledge and for reflection. Results are not kept anywhere for you to see.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t

How to share a video<\/a> (more detailed)<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
Who to share with<\/strong>: in most cases, share with everyone who has the link or clicks on it (Public unlisted). If you pick other options (e.g. individual emails, everyone at Laurier) people will be asked to log in to view. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t

Sharing in H5P<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
This option requires an extra step but is strongly recommended<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\t
To share in H5P:\n\t\n\t\t
download your Panopto video as .mp4 and your caption file as a .vtt file<\/li>\n\t\t
Create an Interactive Video in H5P. Upload the video and caption files.<\/li>\n\t\t
Use the embed code for your H5P Interactive Video.<\/li>\n\t\t
For help see H5P Help and Getting Started<\/a><\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
Why share in H5P? \n\t
\n\t\t
Ease of updating:\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
If you need to redo\/update a Panopto video, you need to create a new video. With a new video, there is new embed code. You will need to change the embed code wherever you have embedded it, or it will continue to point to the old version.<\/li>\n\t\t\t
If you create an Interactive Video in H5P the embed code is for the H5P 'container', not the video. You can delete the video and upload a new version without having the embed code change.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t
Adding interactivity: you can add quiz questions in Panopto, but there are more options for interactivity in H5P.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
Creating a 'playlist' in H5P\n\t
\n\t\t
Use one of the 'container' content types, e.g. embed a video on each tab of a Course Presentation or Interactive Book, or embed multiple videos in a Column.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"d1faf864-3b8e-4dfe-a040-d77a393a31eb","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Sharing Your Video"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"
1. Record by Sharing PowerPoint on Your Desktop<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
\n\t
Create a video by sharing PowerPoint on your desktop as you record and narrating (as you would for a live audience).<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
This is the quickest option, but the hardest to update later. To change one slide you need to redo the video.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2. Record First Then Upload PowerPoint Slides to Panopto<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
\n\t
Create a Panopto video with only only audio (or some combination of audio and screen sharing).<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
In the Edit area, upload your PowerPoint presentation and sync the slides with the narration. Your slide titles will be added automatically as chapter titles in Contents.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
Instructions: Add, edit and delete PowerPoint slides<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
This takes more time, but you can change just a few slides later if they need updating. If you need to change audio too, you will need to create a new video and add it as a clip, then edit your video and captions.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
3. Create a Video in PowerPoint and Upload it to Panopto<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
\n\t
Create your PowerPoint presentation, then narrate within PowerPoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
Once you are done narrating each slide, save the file as an MP4 video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
\n\t
Upload the video into Panopto<\/a> to generate closed captions. <\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t

\n\t\t
\n\t\t

\n\t\t
You can use built-in PowerPoint animations which you can't in option 2<\/p>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t

You can change just a few slides later if they need updating, save those as a separate video file, and add it to your original video as a clip<\/a> (see Editing section).<\/p>\n\n\t\t

Planning<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
Always plan first.<\/li>\n\t
Think about and decide on:\n\t
\n\t\t
Audience: who is this video for? What do they already know?<\/li>\n\t\t
Purpose: what are your specific learning goal(s) or outcome(s) for your audience?<\/li>\n\t\t
Presentation: what is the best way to present the content so people learn it?<\/li>\n\t\t
Mode: do you need to make a video, or would something else work as well?<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
Prepare\n\t
\n\t\t
Create a storyboard, or plan out exactly what will happen and in what order, and which graphics that requires at each step.<\/li>\n\t\t
Create a script, or plan out exactly what you are going to say.<\/li>\n\t\t
Review and edit\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Can you make it shorter, more focused, clearer?<\/li>\n\t\t\t
Can your points be made more effectively?<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
Stick to the plan\n\t
\n\t\t
Keep it simple and to the point.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Visuals<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
Use clear, large, simple graphics and visuals.<\/li>\n\t
If sharing your screen, make it large enough so people can see it easily. This will be larger than you think in most cases.<\/li>\n\t
If sharing your browser, get rid of distracting extras (e.g. bookmarks bar, extra tabs, etc.).<\/li>\n\t
If using PowerPoint, don't put too much on one screen. Use large clear fonts and graphics.<\/li>\n\t
Don't convey any information by using colour on its own (e.g. if you look at the red line, then the blue line...).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Narration<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
Use a good microphone.<\/li>\n\t
Avoid background noise; a headset microphone can help with this.<\/li>\n\t
Speak slowly and clearly.<\/li>\n\t
Follow your script.<\/li>\n\t
Don't assume everyone can see or hear; someone who is only seeing or only listening to the video should get the same information as someone who can see and listen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Structure<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
Make it easy for people to follow you.\n\t
\n\t\t
Formula: Tell them what you are going to say, say it, then tell them what you said.\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Say at the beginning what you are going to cover and why you are covering it<\/li>\n\t\t\t
Make it obvious as you go along where you are in that plan.\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
Make it clear when you make each main point what that point is and that it is a main point.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t
State when when you are making a transition\/moving to another main point.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t
Use visual and verbal cues where possible to indicate where you are (e.g. step 1, step 2) and what on screen you want them to focus on.<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t
Briefly summarize at the end what you just covered.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t
If doing a demo, go slowly. Explain what you are doing as you go, and why you are doing it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Length<\/h2>\n\n
\n\t
Shorter is better. <\/li>\n\t
If longer than 5 minutes, consider making multiple videos instead and creating\/sharing a playlist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
