Panopto is like Newman's own personal "YouTube". It is where all recordings made at Newman are stored. Your lecturers may use it to record their lectures or extra materials; students can also use it to record presentations or podcasts for assessment, everyone has their own private folder to store recording on Panopto. Panopto is linked to Moodle, so you might find links to videos from Moodle pages, or you can go to Newman's Panopto directly to search or see what videos are available to you, there is a direct link to Panopto on your MyNewman page.

We care that you are here at Newman. SEAtS is a cloud-based software system we use to gather data about your attendance and engagement, and present this information back to you and your tutors. At Newman SEAtS gathers your attendance data in two ways:

1. via a blue tooth app that you can download to your phone
2. via an electronic register completed by your tutors

It gathers what we call ‘engagement data’ too. This is made up of your Moodle activity which is then displayed in your student calendar in SEAtS when you view SEAtS on a computer. This Moodle data just shows the times you clicked on something in Moodle, not exactly what you did there.

Please also watch the following video which explains what SEAtS is and how it is used at Newman: SEATS at Newman.

Turnitin is an originality checking and similarity detection service which encourages best practice for using and citing other people’s written material. Turnitin also provides a tool called Feedback Studio for tutors to give feedback to students.

When you submit an assignment to Moodle it will automatically submit to the Turnitin service. Turnitin’s software then compares your submission's text to billions of pages of digital content (including archived internet content that is no longer available on the live web) as well as over 110 million papers in the student paper archive, and 80,000+ professional, academic and commercial journals and publications. This produces an originality report for you and your tutors to view. This report will appear 10-15 minutes after submission to Moodle, however, this will happen for your first three submissions to the same assignment in Moodle in any given 24-hour period. If you re-submit your assignment a fourth time (even before the deadline) to the same submission point, the new originality report will take up to 24 hours to generate.
