This guide will cover how to create an assignment to allow students to post a video directly to the module instructor, and how to grade the assignment submission.

What should I know?

For modules from semester 1 24/25 your module templates will have a Panopto channel link added automatically, until this date you will have to manually add this tool link (see guide).

Additional Information

A Panopto student assignment folder will be created inside the Panopto course folder once the first student begins creating a video. By default, the student will only be able to see and edit their own videos in the related Panopto student assignment folder. Once the video is submitted by a student, it is moved from the Panopto student assignment folder into the student submission folder within your course folder. After this, the student can no longer edit their submitted video.

Grading an Assignment

Step 1: Open the assignment where you see an ungraded submission

Step 2: Select the submission you want to grade

Step 3: Under Submission Content, the student Panopto video assignment should appear embedded

Step 4: Proceed with grading the assignments, providing feedback, and posting grades
