Manually Moving Course Videos from Panopto to Lumina Media in Canvas

Supporting Uninterrupted Student Access

What Is This?

As La Salle transitions from Panopto to Lumina Media (YuJa), faculty teaching summer courses may choose to proactively move important instructional videos into Lumina ahead of the migration completion timeline. Although existing Panopto videos are expected to migrate automatically, some faculty may prefer to upload critical course media directly into Lumina as an additional safeguard for summer instruction.

Why Is This Important?

Uploading essential course videos into Lumina ahead of time can help reduce potential disruptions related to migration timing, media processing, or Canvas re-linking during the transition.

• Course welcome videos
• Weekly lecture recordings
• Assignment explanation videos
• Orientation materials
• Frequently used instructional content
