How to Share Panopto Recording Links in Courses - Lessons Tool

What Does It Do?

Sharing Panopto content in the Lessons tool can provide an additional and/or alternative pathway for students to access and view content.  It's also important to be mindful of permission settings when utilizing this feature. 

How You Can Use It

• Embed Panopto video content on a Lessons page.
• Require students to view the video prior to proceeding to the next deliverables. 

Prerequisites

• If the Panopto tool is currently hidden in your course site, then instructors must unhide it.
• Important: to view Panopto content, students must first sign in and authenticate by first clicking the Panopto tool in the tool menu.  Once this has been completed, students may navigate or return to the corresponding Lessons page and view the Panopto content.  This important step will be important to communicate to students.
