UPDATING VIDGRID CONTENT TO PANOPTO
To facilitate a smooth transition from VidGrid to Panopto we will be automatically updating content in Canvas and Cascade with the new link or embed to content that has been migrated to Panopto.
Canvas updates will be applied based on the status of the course as of July 10th 2024 as follows:
- Fall 2024: All courses will have links and embeds updated
- Summer 2024: All published courses will have links and embeds updated, updates will be applied after courses conclude
- Spring 2021 to Spring 2024: All published courses will have links and embeds updated
If there is a course that falls outside this range, or has Default Term (for example most Sandbox courses) please submit a course update request. Canvas updates are currently being tested and reviewed, and campus will be notified of additional deadlines.
Cascade updates will be processed this summer and may require input or assistance from site or content owners.
