Videos in the MD Program

• MedIT manages TFoM videos on 3 delivery platforms: Stream, Panopto, and Vimeo.
  • Some departments use Youtube as their delivery platform, and we do not manage those videos. 
• Lecture recordings and other videos that are part of course materials in the MD Program after January 2022 are on Panopto
  • Access to MD-Program videos in Panopto is based on enrolment in Elentra courses; however, you must click the Course Videos link in the left menu of the Elentra course to gain access.
  • Access to videos can also be added for anyone outside of the university community
  • Videos are searchable, and automatic captioning is provided
• Lecture recordings and other videos that are part of course materials in the MD Program from August 2019 to January 2022 are on Stream
  • Stream is a Microsoft Office 365 (O365) application available to students, faculty, and staff at the university 
  • Access to the MD-Program videos in Stream is based on permissions; these permissions, in turn, are based on students’ year of study (eg: 2T2) 
• All students from 1T9 to 2T1 have been added to Stream, and thus can view all of their relevant videos
• Most faculty and staff have been added to Stream. If you do not have access, please look through the FAQs below on Stream access
• Captioning is available and can be turned on or off 
• Other videos, generally not part of course materials in the MD Program (with the exception of 2T5 lecture recordings from August 2021 to December 2021), are on Vimeo
  • Vimeo allows any of several privacy restrictions for sharing videos (eg: for ony the recipients of the video link, for anyone on the internet, or for posting to a certain domain).

Access to course videos is generally restricted to those enrolled in the Elentra course.

For videos that can be public facing, we are putting them on the platform Vimeo. Our account allows for degrees of viewing restrictions, from none (open access) to password protection. Contact MedIT for more information.

 Lecture recordings and other videos that are part of the course materials are for the exclusive use of U of T MD students, staff, and faculty. You may not share, copy, or repost them for viewing by anyone else without written consent from MedIT.

Most regularly-scheduled lectures in the Foundations curriculum are recorded and the video is posted in the Course Videos link of the course in Elentra (https://meded.utoronto.ca); however, some lectures are intentionally not recorded (those with patients, for example).

Foundations 

Recordings of regularly-scheduled Foundations lectures will be posted to Elentra within 1 working day of the end of the lecture, with two exceptions: 

• the lecture is required content for an assessment that takes place less than 1 working day after the end of the lecture. In this case, we will process and post the recording on the same day that the lecture takes place. 
• there is a technical issue and the recording is not viable. 

Clerkship 

Recordings of regularly-scheduled TTC and TTR lectures will be posted to Elentra within 2 working days of the end of the lecture. 

While we record each lecture with both primary and secondary recorders, technology can fail on occasion, potentially resulting in no recording. If this happens, the MD Program leads or administrators will decide on the course of action; often, a video with similar content from a previous year is posted. 

Students will have access to the recordings until they graduate from the undergraduate MD Program. For example, a student entering the program in August, 2021, will be able to view Year 1 through Year 4 lecture recordings until the summer of 2025. 

It is important to note, however, that while, for example, a 2T5 student who wishes to review a 2nd-year lecture on a particular topic will be able to view it, it may not be the same lecture that the student attended; instead, it will be a lecture from a current 2nd-year class.
