SEATTLE, Washington — December 6, 2016 — Panopto, the leading video platform for higher education, today announced a new report on the higher ed learning management system (LMS) market featuring Gartner research. Included with the report is a special section on how academic institutions can support video within their LMS.

Table of Contents:

• Gartner’s Market Guide for Higher Education Learning Management Systems
• Industry data on video use in the classroom
• 15 requirements for supporting video within the LMS
• Comparative video features of Blackboard, Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, and dedicated video platforms

Within higher education, effectively using video requires a broad and unique set of capabilities that go beyond the course management, document sharing, and student management capabilities traditionally served by the LMS. As video has become a regular part of the learning experience, schools should ensure their video systems are selected with the same attention to detail as are their learning management systems.
