You can use UICapture (Panopto) to have your students submit audio/video by uploading content made elsewhere, by recording new content with the Panopto Recorder or Panopto Capture, or by capturing a Zoom meeting.

Examples of how this might be used:

  • Video introduction or response in an ICON Discussion
  • Synchronous presentation given remotely via Zoom
  • Asynchronous presentations recorded and edited with Panopto.
