Summer Teaching and Learning Institute 2021 upcoming Panopto Sessions: Until then, we hope you are having a good summer and we are looking forward to a great fall startup. Please be on the lookout for them and posts in GRCC Today.

We will be sending out multiple communications in the coming months regarding Panopto. Panopto also provides direct support to all employees and students via Panopto’s Support Portal. You can also sign into Panopto directly at any time at, where you will find some getting started videos. We have listed some available training sessions, webinars, and resources on Panopto below. We recommend attending a training session, watching a webinar, or reviewing resources on Panopto as soon as you can. We do realize that you may not be able to get acclimated and start using Panopto prior to fall startup, so we have extended our TechSmith Knowmia contract through the end of year in an attempt to allow for more flexibility during this transition.

We discourage uploading videos to Knowmia after August 13th, because it will possibly require you to move videos and update video links in Blackboard. Any videos hosted on Knowmia will not be accessible, which would also cause Blackboard links to those videos to break. On January 1st, TechSmith Knowmia will no longer be available.

Any video uploaded to Knowmia after August 13th will need to be manually uploaded to Panopto or another video hosting solution prior to January 1st, 2022. Please note that only Knowmia videos created on August 13th and before will be automatically copied over. This update will happen once the Knowmia videos are all copied over. In addition, we have partnered with a company called K16 solutions, who will update any Knowmia video links in Blackboard to point to Panopto (only for Knowmia videos created August 13th or before). We are also beginning to copy over Knowmia videos created June 15th and after (through August 13th).

We have already copied all Knowmia videos that were created prior to June 15th, 2021 (along with their folder structure and quiz info) over to Panopto and will be making those videos available shortly. IT and DLIT have been working diligently the past couple months to try and make the transition for employees and students to Panopto as smooth as possible. Earlier this year, TechSmith announced they were discontinuing Knowmia, GRCC’s current video hosting solution. As you may already know, GRCC is in the process of moving to a new video hosting solution called Panopto.
