Chipcast :: System OverviewChipcast makes it easy for anyone to capture, manage, search, and view multimedia presentations online.

Chipcast at CMU consists of 3 MAIN PARTS:

1. THE VIEWER: is where students view the lectures. They actually view the content in a web browser, and that is referred to as the viewer. The Viewer allows students to search PPT notes and annotate their lectures with their own notes as the view it.

2. THE RECORDER: is a cross-platform recording software faculty can download right from Blackboard. You can record your screen, your webcam, as well as a PPT or Keynote presentation. Something uniquely powerful about the recorder is that panopto will index any text the instructor has in PPT or Keynote and make the content searchable in the viewer for students.

3. THE MANAGER: Panopto has it’s own content management system for digital media and Instructors can login and manage their content using the content manager in a web browser. The content manager is found at http://chipcast.hosted.panopto.com Be sure to select the CMU-Blackboard option when logging in.

The Setup Process Overview: For instructors to use panopto in their course, they must login to their Bb course shell and enable the Panopto tool availability, then they must go to the Tools menu and click on the Panopto link to provision a folder in Panopto. From there they download the recorder and start recording and uploading content. Content can then be deleted in the Panopto Content Manager. The setup steps are outlined below.
