Instructors can add Panopto content to courses through three methods:

• A Panopto video activity link (best for Panopto videos that will be graded – like Panopto quizzes)
• A Panopto student submission activity link (to add a video assignment that allows students to upload and/or create video content with Panopto)
• The Panopto button in the ATTO text editor (to embed videos into text)

NOTE: Instructors can also grab Panopto video links and embed codes from their Panopto account and add them via the URL or Text and media area activity.

Using the Panopto Video Activity Link

To add the Panopto Video tool to your course page, first navigate to the course and toggled Edit mode to ON. Scroll to the bottom of the course section that needs the Panopto link and click Add an activity or resource. From the pop-up, select Panopto video:

On the next screen, you have the option to add a specific video or video quiz from your Panopto library or add a link to your course folder.

To add a link to your course folder, name the course folder, scroll down to Grade and select None from the dropdown and then scroll to the bottom and click Save and return to course:

To add a specific video or video quiz to a course page, the process is the same, except you have to also click the Select content button and then select the desired video from your Panopto library pop-up, make any desired setting changes, and then select Insert. If you are adding a video quiz via this method, you will also need to fill out the grade section, which will automatically add the activity to the course’s Moodle gradebook:

Using the Panopto Student Submission Tool Link

This tool can be used when students are tasked with submitting videos, usually as an assessment. When this tool is deployed, students will be able to create and/or upload videos to a designated subfolder within your course’s Panopto main folder. The share settings of that folder are then controlled by the instructor.

To set up the Panopto Student Submission, toggle Edit mode to ON, click on Add an activity or resource, and select Panopto student submission:

The next page is similar to the Moodle assignment activity. Name your video submission assignment (required), provide a description (optional), select a Due date (optional), add restrictions (optional), and a grade (optional), and click Save to place the activity on your course page:

Students will see the assignment activity on the course page. When they click on the activity, they will see the details the instructor provided about the assignment and a Select Panopto Submission button. When they click that button they will be able to choose, upload, or record a video from the pop-up and submit their video to the activity:

Using the Panopto ATTO Tool

Anywhere text can be added to a course, Panopto videos can be added as well. In the ATTO text editor, click the Panopto icon and videos can be selected, uploaded, or created and then embedded into the activity and/or course page:

All videos that are uploaded or created from the text editor Panopto icon will also be added to the Moodle course’s Panopto folder.
