    Overview<\/h2>\n

    From 9 January 2015 all newly created<\/strong> Blackboard courses will have a new menu item named \u201cRecorded Sessions\u201d which will link to any sessions recorded using Panopto Lecture Capture.\u00a0 This will reduce the number of steps needed to set your Blackboard course up to use Lecture Capture from ten steps to two steps.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Existing Blackboard courses are not affected, only new courses created on Blackboard after 9 January 2015<\/strong>.\u00a0 This mainly concerns new 2015\/16 modules which will be created from\u00a0February 2015 on Blackboard, and newly requested Arbitrary Courses. \u00a0Modules for Semester 2 2014\/15 have been on Blackboard since Feburary 2014 and so will not be affected by this change.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Panopto is the University\u2019s lecture capture and video library.\u00a0 Find out more at\u00a0iSolutions web pages about Panopto Lecture Capture<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A guide on setting up your Blackboard course for lecture capture is here:Setting up your Blackboard course for use with Panopto Lecture Capture<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you do not wish to have this menu item on your Blackboard course you can remove it by following this guide:\u00a0Hiding or removing a Blackboard course menu item<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Approval<\/h2>\n

    This change to the default Blackboard course menu for new courses was approved by the Technology Enhanced Living and Learning (TELL) Board in November 2014.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How it will look<\/h2>\n

    The new default course menu for new Blackboard courses created from\u00a0January 9 2015 will have the following items.<\/p>\n

    \"The<\/a>

    The new default course menu<\/p><\/div>\n

    The recorded sessions menu item is a tool link that will take the client to the Panopto page for that course.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    What happens if a student clicks on the link and you are not using Panopto<\/h2>\n

    If Panopto has not been enabled for the course this is what a student will see when they click on the Recorded Sessions\u00a0menu item:<\/p>\n

    \"What<\/a>

    What a student sees if they click on Recorded Sessions on a Blackboard course that has not been provisioned for use with Panopto.<\/p><\/div>\n

    So if you will not use Panopto<\/strong> to record sessions for your course it would be better to remove the link<\/strong> in order to avoid potential for student confusion.<\/p>\n
