How-tos<\/h1>\n

I want to shoot videos. Where and how can I do that?<\/b><\/p>\n

You can use a software called Panopto for recording videos.\u00a0If you want to do simple teaching videos, this is the easiest way to create and implement them in your courses. Panopto is a cloud-based multimedia capture and distribution solution used for recording (\u2018capturing\u2019) lectures, presentations, screencasts, etc. and it can be used from any laptop and can easily be integrated into MyCourses. You can find instructions on how to use it at <\/span>https:\/\/wiki.aalto.fi\/display\/OPIT\/Panopto<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to shoot your videos in a studio, there is one at the Learning Centre. More information on the Studio <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>If your project is more complex and you need help with it, Aalto Online Learning also has an agreement with Aalto Studios. Pilots can get technical support and equipment from Aalto Studios for free.<\/span><\/p>\n
