Case Study: Mid-State Technical College improves course accessibility and quality with Panopto

Mid-State Technical College rolls out Panopto in one semester to improve accessible learning

Mid-State Technical College, a technical college with multiple campuses in Wisconsin, faced a campus-wide challenge: meeting a mandate for all learning videos to include captions to improve accessibility. Their previous video tools lacked effective and affordable auto-captioning capabilities, making compliance a significant burden for faculty. They sought a new solution to address this need and chose to implement Panopto's video platform.

The college implemented Panopto for its auto-captioning, LMS integration with Blackboard, and ease of use. The solution successfully addressed the captioning mandate with highly accurate automatic captions and became the institution's most-used tool outside of its LMS. Panopto's impact included enabling hybrid learning, unique use cases like embedding forms into videos, and providing analytics that helped faculty improve course quality by creating more effective, shorter videos.
