Panopto with D2L

Panopto is a video management system that allows instructors to upload, store, and organize their instructional videos in one place. This can make it easier for instructors to find and access the videos they need, as well as share them with their students. Panopto's video player includes features like the ability to search within videos using keywords and to add notes, bookmarks (table of contents), and quizzes to videos. This can help students stay engaged with the material and improve learning outcomes.

The University's goal is to deliver the best media experience for students, but Marquette does not have unlimited video storage in Panopto. Videos stored in Panopto are subject to retention policies and storage limits. Center for Teaching and Learning staff will periodically review usage metrics and contact faculty about lesser-viewed content to determine if the video is still necessary or may be removed from Panopto. Implementing a retention policy for Panopto is necessary to meet two needs: one administrative, the other financial.
