Panopto Blackboard Integration Updates in December

Instructors are encouraged to copy courses after update

Panopto tool integrations in Blackboard will be updated in late December, as Blackboard support is ending for the current tool integrations.

On December 21st, existing Panopto links in Original and Ultra courses will be migrated to the new Panopto LTI 1.3 integration. We do not expect any system downtime or loss of access to Panopto content with this update.


Spring Courses

***For instructors and students to benefit from the updated tool integration, we recommend that instructors wait to copy Panopto content to their spring courses until this update is completed by 5pm on 12/22.***

Upgraded functionality with LTI 1.3 includes the following features:

Panopto Quiz Grading 

With LTI 1.3, instructors will now be able to select between two grading methods for Panopto quizzes, grading on % viewed or grading on quiz results.

Image 1: After selecting the Panopto Quiz tool and the desired Panopto video in Blackboard, instructors will be prompted to select the grading method for the quiz. 

Course Copy Enhancements

Instructors will now have more flexibility in copying videos between courses. The new Panopto copy process allows instructors to customize video settings and maintain separate data for videos in each course.

UMBC Archiving Unviewed Panopto Videos (01/30/23)

No content will be permanently deleted at this time

To comply with recent changes to product licensing, beginning 01/30/23, all Panopto videos that have not been viewed during the preceding 18 months will be moved to archive storage. If one wishes to retain any content on the production server, they need only access the video(s) once prior to 01/30/23. Alternatively, videos can be restored to our production server to view within 48 hours.

Since UMBC's adoption of Panopto in fall 2018, we have witnessed steady growth in its use until the onset of the pandemic, at which point usage patterns shifted significantly as all instruction moved fully online. To address increased storage demand across its client base, Panopto changed its pricing from a model based on consumption to one based on storage. Our new contract provides roughly 10x more archive storage than production storage (50,500 hours vs 6,000 hours). The latter set of hours represent traditional, on-demand media, whereas the former are held in a separate yet expediently retrievable storage.

Panopto downtime and security update

August 15: unavailable for 3 hours

Downtime

On Saturday, August 15, Panopto will be making a number of updates to their Cloud infrastructure to improve performance and scalability. These updates will require up to 3 hours of downtime, with a target start time of 9:00 PM EDT.


During the downtime, users will not be able to access videos on our Panopto site, and any attempts to upload from recording clients will result in a "Server unable to connect" message.


TLS 1.0/1.1 support end of life

TLS is the cryptographic protocol. Older versions of TLS, specifically 1.0 and 1.1 are no longer considered to be secure and Panopto will discontinue support of them on August 19th, 2020.
