Panopto: Why use Panopto/GauchoCast instead of other options?

We have a viable cloud storage and distribution system in Panopto.  This system is FERPA compliant, and provides additional features of students (i.e. note-taking, discussion boards). GauchoCast videos can be seamlessly distributed to students enrolled in your course using GauchoSpace. Our existing system is also tied into our captioning infrastructure if needed for DSP.

1. Add the GauchoCast Block to your GauchoSpace site

1. Turn editing ON

2. Scroll down to Add a block and select GauchoCast
