This guide provides instructions on how to create a Panopto assignment, so that students have access to record a Panopto video and submit it in Brightspace
Create an “Assignments” Folder in Panopto
This configuration will allow students to record via Panopto
STEP 1
Log in to Panopto – If you don’t have a new folder created yet as a sub-folder under “My Folder” that you intend to use for Assignments - then select “Create”
Select “New Folder” from the list of options – Then name it and click “create folder”
STEP 2
Select “Browse” and click on your created sub-folder
STEP 3
Click on the settings wheel on the top right of the page
STEP 4
Select “Overview” from the menu items on the left
Then click "Create Assignment Folder"
Note: This will automatically create the ‘Assignments’ folder as a subfolder under your new created folder
STEP 5
Select your new “assignments” folder to manage settings
Then click the settings wheel on the top right of the page
STEP 6
Select “Settings” from the menu items to the left to manage student capabilities
STEP 7
Ensure your parent folder is shared with your students so they can access the “Assignments” sub-folder (note: only a parent folder can be shared; sub-folders are shared via the parent folder settings)
Click “Browse” ⇒ Click your parent folder ⇒ Then click the settings wheel on the top right of the page
STEP 8
Select “Share” from the menu items on the left
Under “Who can access this folder,” click “change” and select:
“Your Organization/Anyone at your org who has the link”
Creating the Panopto Assignment in Brightspace

(ie: grading; due date; etc.)

In Panopto, copy your parent folder link where the “assignments” folder resides
Click “Browse” ⇒ Then click into your parent folder

In Brightspace again, revisit the assignment you’re creating and click the “Insert Stuff” icon at the top of the text editor
STEP 4

→ Direct students to navigate to the Assignments folder and click in to it (this will be after the student clicks the link to your parent folder)
→ Students can look for the folder that displays “[assignments]”
