These are the steps for recording a lecture in a general assignment classroom from the lectern PC. These steps are hyperlinked to videos from our Panopto & GauchoCast training video series.
To start, you will need to set up and provision the GauchoCast block in your course on GauchoSpace. You will do this from either your personal or office computer. This will allow you to upload classroom lecture recordings directly to your Gauchocast block in GauchoSpace at the end of class.
Step 2 in the series shows you how to add the GauchoCast block to your course in GauchoSpace.
You should download and install the Panopto Recorder on your personal computer. This will allow you to practice recording your presentations, outside of class, should you wish to do so.
Step 3 in the series shows you how to download and install the Panopto Recorder
The next step in the series is Mac and PC specific. Our general assignment classrooms use PCs running Windows. You should familiarize yourself with these settings before coming to class so you can set up your preferences on the lectern PC before you record for the first time in that classroom. The lectern PC should remember your settings after the first time.
