All CLS bench PCs have Panopto software installed, which makes it simple to record the screen, the tutor’s voice and, in some rooms, video of the tutor or a whiteboard. Panopto is tightly integrated with Blackboard and access to your recordings is automatically restricted to the students on a module.<\/p>\n
