FERPA GUIDANCE FOR CLASS RECORDINGS
If you wish to record lectures for use in later semesters, you must take steps to comply with FERPA. Record the course lectures in such a way that the students' identity in the course is never revealed. (e.g., Avoid recording student faces and/or names.)


Deliver Video using Panopto

Panopto is the preferred method for delivering video through Canvas. Panopto offers Automatic Closed Captioning and its viewer provides control of the video playback's volume, speed, and quality.
