Panopto: Creating a Student Assignment in Moodle


Unlike previous iterations of Panopto Student Assignments, the current iteration cuts down on the amount of work required to create it.

Please note, you'll first need to be sure you have Provisioned your Panopto Course in Moodle.

 

Creating an Assignment in Moodle

  1. Once again, please ensure you have Provisioned your Panopto Course in Moodle or it will only appear as if the assignment has been created successfully, however your students will not have access to a folder to submit assignments.  
     
  2. Log in to Moodle and select the course in which you wish to create an assignment.
     
  3. Navigate to the course topic where the assignment will be. This is found on the left side of the screen under menu labeled CONTENTS. In this example we have selected the first topic. Depending on your configuration, your contents and section names may look different than what is seen in this example.
