Panopto Course Assistant Program

OIT partners with schools at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus to deliver lecture capture services through the Panopto Course Assistant (PCA) program. The PCA is a paid student position responsible for recording and filing lectures in Panopto and Canvas (or Elentra for School of Medicine).

To hire a PCA, please refer to these guidelines: 

• Recruitment: Each school/college/department is responsible for recruiting their own PCA or PCAs.
• Onboarding: Once you identify your PCA, please send the following information to OIT HR:
  Full Name
  CU Anschutz Email Address
  School/College/Program
  Year (1st, 2nd, etc)
• Training: OIT is responsible for training and supporting PCAs to perform their job duties.  Training sessions will be scheduled at the beginning of each semester. If your PCA is unable to attend a scheduled training, please email OIT-AVServices@CUAnschutz.edu to schedule a training.
• Supervision/Management: Each school is responsible for managing their PCAs and making their own personnel decisions.  Any changes to PCA personnel should be communicated to OIT HR. OIT HR will check-in with the school contact(s) each semester to determine personnel needs for the following term. 
• Payment: PCAs are paid $600 per semester. The payments are dispersed bi-weekly until funds are exhausted. OIT will fund up to four PCA positions per program per academic term. Additional PCAs must be paid for by the school which they serve.
