Panopto

Sometimes, the limitations of written text can feel like a setback when creating content for your site. Therefore, using tools like Panopto can prove beneficial by

• Adding an audible and visual dimension to your content
• Capturing Lectures

It offers a quick and straightforward way to create and share videos without the complexity of more advanced video editing platforms. These videos can then be seamlessly embedded into your CarlSite.

• It gives you the ability to to acquire both soft & technical skills
