How UNLV Enhances Student Learning With Video In WebCampus

Students today want flexible, engaging ways to learn, and UNLV is delivering exactly that.

In The Future of Video Search in Canvas: How AI Is Changing the Way Students Learn webinar, Andy Borts, senior instructional technology specialist, joined Panopto and Canvas representatives to demonstrate how UNLV is transforming everyday course videos into interactive study experiences by integrating Panopto directly into WebCampus (Canvas).

The result? Everything students need is available in one place, making it easier to stay focused and organized.

With this approach, students can search videos to jump straight to key moments, take notes and bookmark important sections, answer quiz questions directly inside videos, and adjust playback to match their learning pace. AI-powered features make video content searchable, generate captions automatically, and help students quickly find relevant information.

This gives students more control over how they study and helps them review material more efficiently.

Faculty benefit from a streamlined experience as well. Instructors can record, embed, and share videos directly in WebCampus (Canvas) while the system automatically manages access and organization. This saves time and keeps courses running smoothly.

Early adoption at UNLV shows strong engagement across users and courses, highlighting how effective and intuitive tools can support both teaching and learning.

UNLV continues to lead in creating a more connected and effective learning environment where video supports real student success.
