Abstract: The shift to remote learning necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic gave rise to new educational learning methods.Starting in 2020 and for an extended period of time, students were unable to attend class in person and relied on virtual learning.Panopto has been used since 2021 as a video management system allowing instructors to record lectures live and post them for students to watch later.Despite mandates being lifted and students returning to class, students routinely ask for lecture videos to continue being posted to aid in study and reinforce comprehension.This study looks at the effectiveness of Panopto through the lens of engagement interaction with the videos.This research looks at data for the Fall 2022 semester of an undergraduate Thermodynamics course.During this period, attendance was optional to accommodate students' varying safety concerns.Using Panopto, the viewing habits of students were analyzed.The data indicates when the lecture was accessed and how much of each lecture was viewed.The results suggest integrating recorded lecture resources positively impacts learner engagement and enhances student performance.This implies that recorded lectures support learning objectives.It provides teachers a platform to expand learning to suit the needs of all students' learning styles and preferences.The analytics allow instructors to tailor the content to accommodate specific needs.
