Increasing Accessible and Flexible Learning Across Campus Through HyFlex Learning
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is a public research university with more than 30,000 students. At the forefront of connected classroom experiences in the post-pandemic landscape, UNLV’s legacy approach to video learning was disorganized. Video was stored in a number of different locations, in a lot of different ways: many departments had individual solutions for themselves, and faculty were utilizing various storage mechanisms or keeping videos in UNLV’s learning management system.
The Challenge
In 2018, UNLV adopted Panopto as its video management platform after evaluating multiple different solutions. The institution was interested in a video management system with a tight integration into Canvas – at the time the university was migrating to Canvas from Blackboard. UNLV was also analyzing the various video management possibilities outside of lecture capture, such as captioning capabilities to comply with accessibility requirements.
The Solution
UNLV adopted Panopto in 2018. One of the key appealing features of Panopto was the LTI integration with Canvas, which provided the ability for students to watch content without having to leave Canvas, whether it was directly from the integration or embedded within a page, module, or announcement. In addition, Panopto continued to be the ideal solution to support UNLV’s mission of providing flexible learning options through their “RebelFlex” classroom – UNLV’s take on HyFlex learning.
The Impact
Since implementation, the popularity of Panopto at UNLV has soared. In 2018 the university had 20 rooms that had dedicated Panopto equipment. This number has since grown to 150 classrooms which have dedicated equipment for allowing instructors to record content into Panopto; 80 of which are RebelFlex, while the other 70 rooms are only equipped with Panopto lecture capture technology and have no web conferencing capability at all.
“In the way that our classrooms are designed, we’re able to provide flexibility for instruction in both the synchronous environment and the asynchronous environment thanks to Panopto being a part of it,” says Andy Borts, Senior Instructional Technology Support Specialist.
Panopto has helped UNLV expand its educational possibilities, from providing faculty with the capability to record lectures and easily upload them to Canvas, to helping students submit assignments, to utilizing Panopto to onboard new staff and host student orientations.
This is a necessary tool, and that’s how we were able to measure success. Even just hearing feedback from students and how much they benefit from having access to that content is eyeopening for us.
