Panopto Faculty Use Cases
- Sections
Italian Language and Culture
In Donatella Melucci's and Fulvia Musti’s online Italian Language and Culture courses, students view short grammar lectures combining slides and the professor's voice. The lecture is regularly paused for students to answer brief comprehension questions. These Panopto "quizzes" increase student engagement and provide a check on their understanding. Student responses are stored in the Panopto tool and scores can be sent to the Canvas gradebook.
Physics
In PHYS 101 and PHYS 102 this year, Patrick ran his class in a flipped-class format where students watched pre-recorded lecture videos shared via Panopto prior to coming to class. Heused the Panopto view data to assess whether students actually watched the pre-lecture videos prior to showing up to class. Those data were crucial for ensuring that students stayed on top of their education as intro physics is a very scaffolded set of lessons where students need the previous lessons to succeed on the future lessons. Extracting those data from the system was extremely easy. Combined with a simple script to compile the numbers, Patrick was able to monitor the progress of each of his students throughout the semester. He hopes to implement embedded Panopto questions for future incarnations of the class
