As part of learning online, you'll probably have some video and audio content in your modules. You might use:
This section has some general tips to help you use video and audio content in your own way - make the video slower, or turn on the captions for example.

Replay is the main way that tutors create video content for your modules, so you'll see a lot of these videos. Panopto is the software that plays these videos. Recordings may be available through a module's VLE site and/or through a link.
You can adjust the volume, speed and captions using the playback controls, and also navigate using a keyboard or screen reader. You'll have a bit more control if you open the video in the Panopto player instead of viewing directly on the VLE.
You can also view all the captions at once by clicking on the captions tab, and download a transcript text file.
You can search for information within videos, and bookmark information to make it easier to find again.
You can add notes to specific parts of the replay capture which are private to only you, if you want to reword something or remind yourself of other information to make it easier to understand.
Video content for your modules may also be provided on YouTube - you can also control the playback speed and access captions.
