Videos in LearnJCU

JCU's video platform (Panopto) features a seamless experience of accessing and viewing videos all within LearnJCU.

Take a look at the explainer video to see, how to:

  • Use the full viewer

Videos in LearnJCU for Students

Some further information:

Some lectures (available in select rooms) will have low-touch lecture capture enabled.

Your lecturer will inform you on whether their lecture will be recorded and published using this feature. If unsure, please ask them.

If enabled, your lectures will be automatically recorded and published on the relevant subject’s LearnJCU site. There is also a light on the podium that will indicate the in-room recording status.

Example of green light

  • Green = Recording in session
  • Yellow = Recording paused
  • Red = Fault/disconnection
  • Nil colour = Off

Important

Lecture capture is not a substitute for attending lectures, it is a recording of a lecture that you can use to review at your own pace.

It is not guaranteed that the recording will always be successful or published.

Check out this great resource - Using lecture recordings – A guide for students

What is captured:

  • Lectures (scheduled in enabled rooms)
  • Audio, slides, document recorder, and parts of the room, along with the lecturer

What might also be captured:

  • Students talking
  • Questions asked during the lecture
  • Someone walking across the front of room
  • If an enabled room is empty but has a scheduled lecture recording, you and/or your conversations may be recorded. Check the in-room recording status light.

Recordings using the new platform (Panopto), can be found in LearnJCU subject sites under Books & Tools > Access Subject Video Library.
