ESU Core Tools
Panopto
Panopto is a great resource for not only storing videos, but also sharing and recording videos! Panopto is designed to make video management easy and accessible for faculty and staff.
These are some of the main features available in Panopto:
- Effortless Uploads: Quickly upload a variety of content, including Zoom recordings, presentations, and instructional videos.
- Flexible Sharing Options: Videos are stored securely and can be shared with students and colleagues through direct links, D2L’s external link feature, or even directly on Panopto itself.
- Organize and Control Access: Organize videos into folders for better management and control who can view your videos with customizable access settings.
- Track Engagement: Monitor viewer engagement to understand how students interact with your content.
- Automatic Captioning and Transcriptions: Enhance accessibility with built-in tools that provide automatic captions and transcriptions.
- Interactive Questions Feature: Add questions at specific points in videos to check for understanding, encourage reflection, or guide them through complex topics.
You can also visit the panopto support site for tutorials and additional features!

Zoom
Zoom Video Communications is the primary Web-Conferencing tool for faculty teaching online and blended courses.
To create your ESU Zoom account if you haven't already, simply login to esu-online.zoom.us using your ESU login credentials.
Zoom is great for meeting with students online, holding advising sessions, or meeting with colleagues.
The Zoom platform was built with accessibility and mobility at the forefront.
This means that it adapts to different screen sizes and looks great on laptops, tablets and smartphones.
You'll find it much easier to access meetings, and collaborate with students.
NOTE: Due to the declining Zoom storage, we are advising faculty and staff to begin archiving needed recordings to OneDrive or Panopto. (Link to walk-throughs below)
