In addition to adding Panopto to your class, you will also need to create an assignment folder. The assignment folder is what gives students the ability to upload their content to your course via Panopto.
NOTE: Panopto assignment folders do not copy when a course is copied. So, the step of creating a Panopto assignment folder will need to happen every quarter.
If you are adopting Option 1: Students Share their Videos with the Class, you will now need to create the D2L discussion that students will use for sharing their media content via Panopto. Once you have created a D2L discussion, use the Providing Students with Instructions - Class as Viewers guide to learn more about how students will interact with Panopto in your course.
If you are adopting Option 2: Students Share their Videos Only with the Instructor, you will now need to add a Panopto link to the Content area of your course. Then, use the Providing Students with Instructions - Instructor as Only Viewer guide to learn more about how students will interact with Panopto in your course.

Earlier this week, Microsoft Technical Fellow Mike Ehrenberg took the stage at Convergence 2014 Europe to demonstrate Microsoft's approach to predictive analytics in Dynamics AX, including the use of Azure Machine Learning to drive decision making in AX '7′, the upcoming major release.
But there are a range of technical product advances at Microsoft that will also shape the future of Dynamics ERP and CRM. As the company reshapes itself under the renewed "One Microsoft" banner, this week's event was an opportune time to hear about where, when, and how Dynamics is crossing paths with other products. I sat down with Mike Ehrenberg to learn more about three specific areas of investment: the evolution of Azure SQL, the future of predictive analytics, and the expansion of Lifecycle Services.
Azure SQL matures
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 running in Azure will be able to start using Azure SQL as a database almost immediately. Azure SQL support was a requirement for the new release, Ehrenberg said. Use of Azure SQL with NAV 2015 is further along in terms of high availability and disaster recovery. Dynamics AX has not made as much progress yet – Azure SQL will be supported with the next major release, AX '7′ in conjunction with Microsoft's releases its public cloud version of the product.
As a product, Azure SQL has come a long way in the last two years, Ehrenberg says. So much so that he sees SQL innovation now originating in the cloud, and that will accelerate adoption by Dynamics ERP products.
"The [SQL] Team has really pivoted to doing innovation in the cloud product first. So whereas before the cloud product was catching up, now innovation is starting there. One thing we're testing with an upcoming release will be to have SQL in-memory in Azure SQL. That' s a huge difference maker for us being able to use it. Performance, scale, dedicated instances, as well as innovation are being done in the cloud first. In particular the in-memory piece is key."
Internet of Things
The MBS vision for IoT and predictive analytics has gained some clarity this week, and Ehrenberg says the opportunity for relevant insights for Microsoft Dynamics will come from a combination of technology assets.
"For us there are different technologies from the sensor side that are out there. People talk about it in the context of IoT and people talk about it in regard to sensor devices. [We are thinking about how it in terms of] managing those populations of devices in Azure. All these devices are gathering data, they need security, tracking, and there are great management tools in Azure.
"When data comes in, we need to look at large sets of data streaming in, larger sets of data that are at rest, and what to do with that information. We have a data platform from StreamInsight and HD Insight, and the other tool that we're doing work with is Azure ML. We're looking at how to apply ML to provide real guidance to business users to predict the next best thing to do.
"The other core dimension for Microsoft is looking at this world with so much data, much of it belonging to the customers. We need to make sure customers have the right visibility of how…click here to read the rest of this article.

The U.S. Postal Service has revised the list of post offices it hopes to close, sparing three San Diego locations. However, the USPS branches in North Park and Golden Hill remain on the chopping block.
The proposed closures have raised concerns among some community members and elected officials. The office of Democratic Rep. Susan Davis claims to have received more than 100 complaints about the suggested service reductions.
"These offices are an integral part of the community," said Davis in a statement. "If they were to close, it would have a significant impact on the neighborhoods. These closures would also inordinately affect the elderly and people with disabilities."
Despite earlier threats, post offices in Oak Park, Point Loma, and University City will not close their doors. Locations in Escondido and Oceanside have also been spared.
In August, the USPS said it was considering closing 677 post offices around the country. The closures are part of a plan to improve the financial situation of the agency, which is projecting a net loss of more than $7 billion by the end of 2009, despite spending cuts of $6 billion.

OK folks, we use all sorts of electronic communication tools. They are replacing things that, not so long ago, went by mail. I'll bet even the USPS makes massive use of email internally. When the business to support mail delivery and neighborhood post offices is no longer there, how can those continue? The USPS was converted by Congress into a self-supporting, non-profit corporation almost 40 years ago. The US government isn't going to subsidize the USPS any more.
If you think that a few PO closures are tough, just wait. It will get worse, much worse, as the volume mail shrinks. Get ready to lose your daily mail delivery to homes. Printed communications are going away rapidly, and that's what the PO is set up to handle.
North Park is a very large neighborhood. Can't imagine losing our Post Office. Not in the near future anyway.
I find closing two post offices in adjacent communities unacceptable. Golden Hill and North Park are both pedrestrian friendly communities. Both of these post offices always have lines, usually long ones, as there are many in these communities who don't have access to computers, e-mail, or in many cases, cars. Closing post offices in these communities is difficult for everyone but the poor, eldery and disabled will suffer the most.
Companies, and individuals who have PO boxes will also suffer. Nearby post offices don't have any empty boxes available. Companys have stationary and printed materials with their PO addresses on them. Mail, bills, grants (for non profits) and all other business mail will be disrupted causing small local businesses to suffer. This will again have a impact on the walking communities as these businesses will begin to fail leaving them nowhere so shop and do business.
If we must close post offices then close them in La Jolla and Rancho Bernardo. They already drive everywhere and most residents in those communities have electronioc options.
If you havn't written to your local and state representatives yet, do it now, before it is too late!!!
Andy Rooney just did a bizarre piece last night on the post office. It wasn't funny, or even on point.
My stepdad worked for the postal service for 35 years. And he doesn't want any of them closing, either. The problem is...they're losing billions. And they can't afford to lose billions. They need to break even. And they won't. People are doing so much email and electronic mail, that the post office is still making most of their money on "junk" mail advertisements.
They have to change how they do things.
But people also have to realize that the post office, unlike UPS or other businesses, we go deliver to some place out in the middle of nowhere...when they won't necessarily do that.
I blame the unions. With so many people out of work today,how are these guys still bitching about pay? The average postal employee makes $20.00 an hour. The unions have contracted the USPS right out of existance. As I say with the Chargeless"Let 'em go!".
The average postal employee makes $20.00 an hour.

$30 an hour with benefits.
I figured it was more but couldn't find any evidence. With most jobs that pay $20 an hour,there's almost always automatic benefits.
I'm on the fence about unions. The brief time I worked a postal job, I joined the union. It kinda sucked that others didn't want to pay the $30 a month for dues, yet they were the first to run to the union when they had a problem with a boss.
But, they do so much I don't agree with. And they kept horrible employees working, when they should've been fired years previously.

There is nothing wrong with unions when they are forced to compete in the free and open markets.
What we have today, IMHO, in the private sector there is no longer a need for unions, and as a result less than 8% of the private sector are unionized-which is down from 35% in the 60's.
NOW, in the public sector, which is about 50% unionized, we have huge problems, because they have no competition and do not have to compete in a free and open market-and they can legally bribe elected officials who determine their pay. That is how we got the federal gov to pay TWICE what the private sector pays with benefits ($120K v $59K). And how we get GED educated FF's and cops pulling down $200K and up n CA.
And as pointed out, if you have different political views you have no say in the matter.
I've still yet to believe cops make as much as you claim, though. Otherwise, everyone would be becoming a cop!

By JoshBoard
JB-How would "everyone" be allowed to become a cop? It's not like they get to hire themselves. There are currently OVER 1,000 applicants for every ONE single FF opening. There are currently OVER 100 applicants for every ONE single cop opening.
The cops do the hiring and I can guarantee you that you're not getting hired unless you're one of the groups listed below (same goes for FF), I mean these are $200K per year jobs that only require a GED, which is about 20 times the going rate for a GED employee;
1- Family (Hi Jim Duffy),
2- Friends,
3- Military workfare (at least 50%-75% come from this group) and
4- Civil rights lawsuit consent decree hires for engaging in 1 & 2 above.
What you don't seem to understand is the value of the benefits-especially the pensions- in ALL gov jobs and in these jobs particularly.. They account for AS much, and in some cases many times more, than the actual cash pay.
The 100 FF strong Orinda Moraga fire chief just "retired" at age 50, with a $284K per year pension that has 3% COLA's built into it plus free healthcare for LIFE. Average life span for a cop or FF is 81.5 years. That is a $10 million (open market value) pension. That is about 4 times MORE than this guy made in his entire 30 year FF career.
Here is a clue JB, if you have 100, 500 or 1000 applicants for a single job, that means you're over paying and can CUT the pay and benefits. Steeply.
You can keep cutting pay and benefits until you have NO ONE applying, that is the only time you will know when you have hit the market rate for the job-when the pay/benefits you offer no longer attracts applicants.
I can guarantee you that you could cut FF pay by 60%, 70% or more, and still have ready, willing and ABLE applicants.
Same goes for cops.
These are nothing more than blue collar, semi skilled, on the job training, jobs. To pay these employees MORE than a general practioner doctor, who has 10+ years of higher education from the best and brightest students in the nation, is a flat, out joke.

Multiple Choice Deciphered
Questions of this type consist of two parts: the stem (i.e., the "question" portion); and the answer choices (i.e., "a," "b," "c," etc.). The correct answer choice is called the "key," while the other incorrect choices are called "distractors."
Although these questions are relatively simple in form since the correct answer is surely already provided, they can be quite deceptive. It is not uncommon to read an answer choice and feel that there is more than one correct answer in the provided choices. Sometimes, none of the answer choices seem correct. What should you do? Nursing students need not worry, there are some tricks to increasing your chances of choosing the right answer.
1. If the answer choices are short (i.e., one word or a short phrase), then glance over each choice before reading the stem. This will help focus your mind on the relevant part of the question. Reading the choices before the stem will give you an idea of what answer the stem would be looking for.
2. You should read the stem very carefully. Not being able to identify the stem or losing concentration while reading it will cause you to misinterpret the question. Oftentimes, this can point you to an incorrect answer choice since distractors are often almost the right answer to the real question.
3. If you are not sure of the answer, eliminate choices you know are wrong. This may point you to the one correct answer. But even if it doesn't, each answer choice you can eliminate greatly increases your chances of guessing right.
4. Watch out for words such as "except," "only," "always," "not," and "but." These little words can completely change the meaning of the question or of the answer choices, making you choose an incorrect answer if you miss them.

Vodafone: Getting ready for the challenges that lie over the horizon
Being a 'ready business' is being prepared to deal with unforeseen challenges
Leo O'Leary: "We sit down with our customers and learn about their businesses and what matters most to them."
Vodafone Ireland is utilising its expertise across the full range of communications channels as well as the latest technology platforms to help its customers become better prepared for the challenges they will meet in the future.
"Many of the challenges a business will face in the future can't be predicted but they still need to be ready to meet them," explains Vodafone's head of large sales Leo O'Leary. "Being what we have defined as a 'ready business' is being prepared to deal with the unforeseen challenges which businesses will face in the future. It is being ready to succeed today and tomorrow. It means having the right type of culture and leadership and having the right IT in place and using that to drive the business. It also means knowing your own business."
While some of this might sound obvious, there are proven business benefits to being ready. "Our research indicates that ready businesses perform better and gain a number of key benefits. The most ready are significantly more successful than the least ready when measured by factors like customer satisfaction and performance when compared with competitors," O'Leary notes.
He cites a number of attributes shared by the most ready businesses. "They communicate better and use all channels, including digital, to keep up with evolving customer needs, attitudes and expectations. They value their people and partners, and have an open and collaborative approach to running their businesses. They have a strong focus on partnering in order to operate optimally and flexibly in a dynamic and interconnected business environment.
"They exploit technology to the full and are up to speed on the full potential of modern IT and communications. They are also open-minded about solving technology needs and break out of the old ways of thinking about IT; they make full use of external advice, modern technology and rapidly-maturing cloud and managed services."
The company takes a collaborative approach to assisting customers become ready businesses. "We sit down with our customers and learn about their businesses and what matters most to them," says O'Leary. "We talk to them and ask them what's most important to their business and its success. It might be customer interaction, it might be giving employees better access to information.
"Also, what we frequently find is that customers have invested heavily in technology but are not realising the full benefit from that. For example, we have customers who are investing in 4G because it's going to give them faster speeds but they are not doing anything to make those faster speeds deliver business benefits."
Vodafone has already worked with the Sisk Group and Sherry FitzGerald Residential on that journey. "Our work with Sisk and Sherry FitzGerald shows how we started a journey as a mobile provider and then evolved and started providing a full suite of solutions. Both of those companies had multiple providers for communications and IT, and had a lot of technology infrastructure that was not working together properly. They were not getting sufficient benefits from their technology investments.
"There were some key triggers along the way. Mobility was key to both companies. We developed mobility solutions for them so that any user can have access to information on any device, anytime, anywhere. They can now communicate with their customers and employees better and are set up to adopt and utilise future services as they become available."
Michael Grehan, managing director of Sherry FitzGerald Residential, says: "At Sherry FitzGerald we are operating in the property market and one thing for sure is that nothing stays the same. For us it's to try and be ahead of the changes and to anticipate the changing customer trends and to constantly improve the customer experience. So communication has always been terribly important to us."
According to Sherry FitzGerald IT director Brian Dooley, the company's relationship with Vodafone has grown and developed over the past five years. "We initially engaged with Vodafone in 2009 but solely as a mobile provider. After two years we had an opportunity to engage with them on broadband, mobile technologies and cloud solutions as well as on fixed line telephony. That allowed us to bring everything in-house under one umbrella which created efficiencies both from a management perspective and from a cost perspective."
Telephony has of course been central. "Through the use of Vodafone's collaboration and cloud-based services we now have the ability to plug and play from a telephony perspective. Our staff frequently move from branch to branch and they can just log into their phone and receive their calls as if they were in head office.
"Being a ready business means having the ability to be responsive, proactive, adaptive and scalable – and achieving all of those things in a short space of time. One of the key things with Vodafone is that no is not an answer with them. I can pick up the phone and speak to my account manager at any time to discuss ideas and things like technologies that might not even exist yet."
According to Sisk IT director Ken Kennedy, being a ready business will prepare the company for the long-awaited upturn in the economy. "Being a ready business for Sisk is making the adjustments we need to make from both an infrastructure and services perspective so that we can seamlessly grow our business as the economy begins to grow again."
Sisk Group finance director Ger Penny adds: "We have operations in Ireland, the UK, the Middle East, and continental Europe. We're able to use the technology to simplify our own business, to manage and control the businesses as cost effectively and efficiently as possible."
Kennedy points out that becoming a ready business has also delivered cost reductions for Sisk. "We had a vision to centralise all our data centres which basically meant taking everything out of local zones and bringing it back into a central hub. Vodafone architected that infrastructure centralisation process. As a result, we've massively reduced our capital outlay for each of our group companies because we invest in the centre.
"Traditionally everyone would have understood Vodafone as a mobile provider but they really are much more than that to us. Voice, data, instant messaging, presence of people, video conferencing, voice conferencing all over our wide area network (WAN). Vodafone manages our WAN and provides us with the capability to implement these solutions. They are now our total communications provider."
Helping businesses become ready for the future is just a starting point according to O'Leary. "Vodafone is on a journey and we will continue to innovate and invest to ensure that our customers benefit to the maximum extent possible from their investment in IT and communications services."

Firmino's dad with a special 'message' for the Reds
Roberto Firmino's father has flown out of Liverpool's John Lennon's airport this morning to cheer on his son's side.
For those with limited Portuguese, you can probably guess José Roberto Cordeiro is wishing the Reds the best of luck.
All hopes will be on the Liverpool's front three, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino, a Brazilian International.
Firmino's father was a street 'hawker' when his son got his first break in football.
'Listening to the game on the radio alone' - Reds fan left stranded at the airport
A 75-year-old Liverpool fan who has followed the Reds to every single European final they have appeared in was left in tears after his flight to Kiev was cancelled at the last minute.
Ernie Ashley, from Woolton, Merseyside, has supported Liverpool for 68 years, and tonight's Champions League clash would have been his thirteenth European final - he said he will now be listening to the game on the radio alone.
Last night, Ernie received the devastating news that his flight to Kiev was cancelled - just hours before he was due to leave for the airport.
"I'll be putting the wireless on - my nerves are gone. I'm just so sad that there's a ticket here and there are some good lads that have not got one. "I'll live to see another final under Klopp - that's the main thing."
The Anfield season ticket holder said he fears it may be too late for him to pass his ticket on to another lucky supporter who is heading to Kiev.

Ode to Mo: Liverpool artists pay tribute to football hero
Liverpool star mo Salah's become a cultural icon in his adopted city and home country of Egypt.
He was initially taken to heart by fans of Liverpool FC because of his astonishing tally of goals.
The chants of "If he scores another few I'll be muslim too" and "He's sitting in the mosque that's where I want to be" went viral on social media channels globally.
But beyond the football pitch Mo Salah has come to represent a positive, friendly, polite, approachable alternative image of muslim masculinity at a time when young bearded muslim men have become subject to much suspicion and hostility.
British Ugandan poet and author Musa Okwonga has previously published books on football and wrote a poem for the FA to celebrate their 150thanniversary.
His 'Ode To Mo' celebrates all that Salah has come to represent as he is about to play in the biggest game in European Club football in front of a global audience of billions having just received the coveted Golden Boot Award.
Now Liverpool artists The Rapid Response Unit have created a minute long film with Liverpudlians each delivering a line of the poem across city centre locations.
The film will be played at screenings of the live match at several venues in Liverpool and on the large screen outside Lime Street station.
Liverpool born street artist and LFC fan Guy McKinley has also been commissioned to create a new 6 x 3 metre street painting of Mo alongside lines from the poem on a busy city centre shopping street.
The painting will be completed on Friday 25th May.
Ode to Mo: The Golden Smile of the Nile
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah The Muslim Maestro! - Cairo's Hero! - The Golden Smile of the Nile! The World's Swiftest Egyptian (Blink, you'll miss him). His scoring rate is one a game, So once a match Anfield becomes his prayer mat. Of course he and this city go hand in hand - They love a frontman of an all-action band - Thus this Afro-haired angel is Top of the Docks. He has three superhuman abilities: Speed. Finishing. Humility. The players' choice, The people's choice, He brings us together with his grin. Mohamed Salah: in the Scousers' crown, He is the shining crystal And the only force that can stop him Is the final whistle.
Champions League: 1000 Liverpool fans' Kiev flights cancelled
Hundreds of Liverpool fans have been left stranded after flights to the Champions League final were cancelled.

With deep regret we can not get a flight on the 26th of May from Liverpool or Manchester.
Unfortunately we cannot put you on any other flights. You will be refunded in full and this process will start tomorrow.
Liverpool FC said about 1,000 fans were involved and believed the issue was caused by a dispute over the size of aircraft.
Along with officials from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Liverpool City Council, UEFA and the authorities in Kiev, Liverpool FC has been endeavouring to resolve the issue since it first came to light and will continue to do so until all avenues have been exhausted.
