Lecture Capture for Learning

It is a recording of a lecture that can be used as a resource for students to review parts of the lecture at their own pace.

It is not a substitute for attending lectures.

• Captured lectures are automatically published to subject sites and can be found in Books & Tools (named Subject Video Folder), or sometimes via links in the Subject Content.​
• Captured lectures are available a few minutes after they have been recorded.​

Remember, If the recording light is on you may be captured

In enabled rooms, there is a light that will turn on on the podium when a recording is taking place.

JCU teaching and technical staff work hard to capture lectures but sometimes technology will fail and a capture will not be available.

Not often, but sometimes things go wrong and a fallback option may not be available.

Taking notes, along with asking questions, help with learning. Students can take notes in captured lectures that are timestamped and downloadable. You can watch a video on taking notes.

When in the video viewer you can take notes by clicking on Notes in the left-hand menu:

To start entering notes, click in the outlined box and begin typing

Bookmarking lets you select a point in a video to return to later.

Accessing bookmarks

When in the Panopto Dashboard you will see a tab on the left side to access your bookmarks:

Create a bookmark

To start access a video where you'd like to make a bookmark.

On the right-hand side of the screen click on Bookmarks

Once you click the bookmark button you will be prompted to label your bookmark at the time of entry. Enter a note in the text box, and hit enter. This will save your bookmark.

Note: bookmarks correlate to the current playback time.

In Panopto you can search for words that appear on screen, in slides, or are spoken.

Search through multiple videos

Search for a keyword in the search bar at the top of the page. If you are in the Home or Everything area, the entire library will be searched. If you are in a folder, just that folder of videos will be searched.

Video search results will appear in the content area below.

You will see videos where the word you searched appears in the title. But you will also see results if the word was spoken, shown on screen, or shown in slides in a video. You will see where in the video the word appears by looking in the search results below the video title.

To play a video from the beginning, click on the title or image.

To play a video from where the keyword appears, click on one of the search results below the video title. The video will open in a new tab and begin to play at that point where the word appeared.

Search within a video

In the video player, use the search bar on the left to search inside of the video.

Enter your search keyword and click the magnifying glass icon. All the search results for the video will appear and will be timestamped. Click on a search result to view that point in the video. The search bar will search the video and its related content for your keyword.

To the left of the search result is a small icon indicating how the keyword was conveyed. These icons represent when the keyword was conveyed through Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), transcription, or a caption; Optical Character Recognition (OCR); slide content; discussion post or comment; notes; and bookmarks. Note: ASR identifies words spoken in the video and OCR identifies words that appear in the video. 

To narrow your search, choose Search All at the top of the results, and select a specific area to search.

By default, the search results are shown in order of relevance, but you can also choose this option at the top of the results and instead show the results in time order.
