Add Panopto Portal in OWL (Brightspace)
What are the benefits of using the Panopto POrtal inside OWL
The Panopto Portal tool is an add-on for the learning management system OWL (Brightspace). It simplifies the management, recording, and uploading of videos for faculty and staff directly within OWL. When installed, the tool automatically creates a Panopto folder linked to Brightspace. This folder synchronizes permissions set in Brightspace, streamlining access control. For instance, when a faculty member uploads a new video to this folder, it immediately becomes accessible to all students enrolled in the corresponding course, without any additional steps required by the faculty.
