RIT-supported Student Recording Options
Students in all majors can use the Expressive Communication Center to create and record presentations. Camera/microphones are provided. Peer consultants are available to coach students on presentation preparation and delivery. Students can download video recordings as a file, which can then be uploaded to Panopto and submitted to the assignment (instructions below).
Use the built-in camera on your mobile device. The video can then be uploaded to Panopto and submitted to the assignment (instructions below).
Use the Panopto Capture recorder in the browser or on certain mobile devices (not yet supported for Apple mobile devices). This tool can be accessed by clicking the Panopto link in the course's navigation or from the myCourses Assignment submission text box (Insert Stuff button). You will need to have your own webcam/microphone. Make sure to choose the Panopto folder your instructor has set up as the save location (review Step 4 below). Note that the video must be linked/embedded in a myCourses Assignment submission to be considered "submitted" (instructions below).
Review General Recording Tips for advice on making good recordings. To make it easier for viewers to identify your video, include your own name as part of the video title or file name.
Student Captioning Options
RIT Student Guidelines for Captioning Audio Visual Media.
Students who voice can generate automatic speech recognition (ASR) captioning on their videos and edit the ASR captions. Students who sign can manually type captions on Panopto Videos.
RIT-supported Student Editing Option
Students can use the Panopto web portal editor with any videos recorded in Panopto or uploaded to Panopto from another source (e.g. file created in the Expressive Communication Center).

In the text editor, click the Insert Stuff button
Click Panopto.
In the folder dropdown, select the folder that your instructor told you to save to. You will need to expand down the RIT myCourses folder and will likely need to expand down multiple levels to get to the correct folder. It will always be one of the folders with "[assignments]" in the name.
Upload a video file from your device or Choose a video you have already uploaded to your Panopto Web Portal.
Click the green Insert button in the Panopto frame then the blue Insert button at the bottom of the popup.
Your video will appear embedded in the text editor of the assignment submission. Once you are ready, click Submit to submit your assignment for instructor review.
