STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cengage Learning, a leading global provider of innovative teaching, learning and research solutions, and Panopto Inc., an award-winning lecture capture and video management software company, announced a strategic partnership to integrate Panopto's leading lecture capture platform into Cengage Learning's MindTap, a first-of-its-kind Personal Learning Experience designed to engage students and improve learning outcomes.

Panopto's easy-to-use technology enables educators and students to record, organize and share lectures, lessons, field-based learning and skills labs. Using Panopto, faculty have the ability to record a complete set of lectures or lessons on a series of difficult concepts or skills. Students can use Panopto's search engine to find the exact concepts they need to review, and can add time-stamped, searchable notes across their full course library of presentations.
"Our partnership with Panopto will give flexibility for instructors to record - and students to access - lectures directly within the MindTap platform. Together, we have removed barriers in order to improve the user experience and allow unlimited access to the resources on any device - desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet," said William Rieders, Executive Vice President, New Media, Cengage Learning. "MindTap was developed to provide a truly personal learning experience and the seamless integration to Panopto's popular lecture capture software will allow for even greater flexibility to best support teaching and learning."
Using MindTap's browser-based delivery, students can review complex material multiple times and on multiple devices -- allowing students to have added control over their learning experience. Students at institutions subscribing to Panopto service will be able to access Panopto via the MindTap interface using single sign-on integration. The application will be available for all of MindTap's student products.
"Panopto's mission has always been to make the lecture or the lab easy to create, share, view, and search. The integrated Panopto-MindTap interface, where students can search and access both in-classroom and out-of-classroom content, brings the practice of blended learning to higher ground," says Steve Zlotnick, President of Panopto-North America."
For institutions currently subscribing to Panopto, the service will be available through the MindTap platform for no additional charge. For non-subscribers, Cengage Learning will be offering an affordable Panopto "app" bundled inside MindTap or other Cengage Learning digital products. In either case, instructors can use a Cengage Learning program to customize pre-designed online courses for fully-online or hybrid instruction and Panopto will be available as a tool through which instructors can record lectures and share presentations for on-demand viewing.
