Panopto and Lectora are Content Management Systems (CMS) that allow for video and lecture creation and file management.
The Panopto CMS creates video resources, and Lectora allows for video and lecture creation.
EKU is attending a demonstration of these two CMS systems on April 9, 2015, as part of a state wide group meeting.
While no plans exist, at present, to purchase a group license for either of these services. I thought I would include information about them for your consideration.
