Podcasts

Drake Law School uses Panopto to record and post podcasts for public lectures as well as Law School courses.

Instructions

Course Podcasts

• Current students should visit drake.hosted.panopto.com.
• Log in using Blackboard, then enter your Drake ID and password. (Use the credentials that you use when accessing MyDrake.) The login will provide access only to classes in which you are currently enrolled or events to which you have been granted access.
• In the menu on the left, click on "My Folders." You will see a folder for each class in which you are enrolled. Within each course folder you will find each recorded session is saved by date.
• If you do not see your course under My Folders, go directly to Blackboard  > Courses > (Your Course) > Ultra Version Panopto Video Library. You will see all available podcasts for that course. Once you have accessed your podcasts from Blackboard directly, the course folder should show up in drake.hosted.panopto.com in the future.
• Panopto is also available for iPhone and Android. Visit your app store to download. When you first log in, it will ask you for your Panopto site address. Your Panopto site address is: drake.hosted.panopto.com.

Public Podcasts

Visitors can access Drake Law School's public podcasts page for a sampling of class lectures or presentations. By accessing any of the Law School's podcasts, you agree to the podcast policies.

Policies

Attendance Policy

Viewing a podcast is not a substitute for class attendance. All missed classes are counted against the student as an absence even if the student listens to a podcast of the missed class.

Procedure

All classes will be recorded. Podcasts will be posted as soon as possible after they are recorded, unless the professor’s own policy stipulates that podcasts be released only when authorized. In these cases, students must make podcast release requests directly to the professor.

No direct requests by students to the associate dean or other Law School personnel will be honored. The decision to make podcasts available is solely within the discretion of the professor unless it involves an ADA accommodation.

Conditions for Granting Podcast Requests

ADA – Podcasts will be available to ADA students as an approved accommodation using the same process as all other ADA accommodations.

Other – Each professor may set his or her own criteria for granting podcast requests. Professors must make podcasts available to all students under uniform criteria to avoid any appearance of discrimination or favoritism.

Availability

All podcasts will be removed from the server each semester when the last exam, including make-ups, for that class has been administered.

Use and Dissemination of Podcasts

All podcasts are the property of Drake Law School and the professor and may not be redistributed in any form to any person. Violation of this policy is also an honor code violation.

Liability

Podcasts are not an entitlement. The Law School is not liable for failure to record or post a podcast to the website.
