Impact: Instructors and Students

Instructors
Instructors can now upload 360° videos to Video Studio. 360° videos can pan to the left or right, providing a real to life experience. These immersive videos can introduce students to situations that would otherwise be out of reach. For example, a student could view a distant location or a scenario that might be dangerous.
Students
Students can view 360° videos in both full screen and windowed modes. To add accessibility for keyboard users, students can also use keyboard navigation using the W, A, S, D keys. There’s also a navigation aid on the video for mouse users.

We’re working to enhance the video playback quality to support higher resolution videos. This update will be part of the next release.
