What is Aston Replay?
What is Panopto?
Aston Replay is the name of our lecture capture service; The software behind this is called Panopto Focus. At Aston, mention of Panopto and Aston Replay can be considered as the same thing.
Aston Replay is a service allowing staff to record their teaching sessions. Registered students can then search and replay sections to enhance understanding and review for revision purposes. Replay is available in the majority of pool teaching rooms.
