Case Study: Hoshi University achieves secure, scalable multilingual learning with Panopto

How Hoshi Pharmaceutical University leverages Panopto to provide lifelong learning to pharmacists across the country

Hoshi University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences needed to quickly build an online learning system during the pandemic, but its first video distribution approach raised security concerns, made it hard to track attendance and viewing, and created too much manual work. The university also wanted to support lifelong learning for pharmacists with a more reliable, flexible platform, and chose Panopto for its LMS integration, user-based viewing controls, and compatibility with tools like Zoom and PowerPoint.

Panopto helped Hoshi University deliver secure, on-demand classes to about 1,800 students and improved learning by letting students rewatch difficult sections and study at their own pace. For pharmacist training, Panopto reduced administrative burden by enabling online fee collection and streamlined delivery; it also expanded participation from rural areas to 30%, while content creation effort fell by 70% and upload times and video quality improved significantly.
