Use UB's streaming server, Panopto, YouTube or Google Drive to deliver video and audio content inside UBlearns.
For the optimal user viewing experience, we recommend utilizing a streaming service to store and deliver video/audio content in UBlearns.
The Panopto integration provides the tools to add and manage Panopto video files from inside UBlearns course sites. Video files and classroom lecture recordings added to UBlearns course sites allow students to watch on any computer, laptop or mobile device.
To use the Panopto tools in UBlearns you must provision your course with the Panopto Tool Application link, also called the Panopto Content link.
The Panopto Tool Application link provides student access to all the videos in your Panopto folder that are part of your course and allows course instructors to manage (ex: upload, delete, edit etc) video files. This view updates automatically as files are added in Panopto.
If you are not having your lectures recorded, manage your videos by going to Tools > Panopto Content instead.
Instructors can link their Panopto videos in UBlearns with the Mashup tool called Panopto Video. This can be accomplished from the Content Editor located in multiple content tools (example: assignments, blogs, wiki's etc.).
Here is an example using the Content Editor when creating an Assignment:
1. Go to any content area (example: “Course Documents”, “Assignments” etc.)
2. Click Assignment from the Assessments button
3. Enter a Name for the assignment
4. From the Content Editor, click Mashups and select Panopto Video
5. Select the checkbox in front of the video that you want to insert and click Insert Videos
6. Fill in the rest of the assignment options and click Submit
1. Go to any content area (example: “Course Documents”, “Assignments” etc.)
2. Click Panopto Video Embed from the Build Content button
3. Select the checkbox in front of the video that you want to insert and click Insert Videos
4. Change the share permissions on the individual files or folder from which you’re pulling the embedded videos, to give access to students in this course.
In Panopto, you have the ability to add quiz questions to a Panopto video at any point during the presentation.
If the Panopto video quiz is embedded (Step 3 above) or linked (Step 4 above), the student will still be able to take the quiz but the results will not be imported into the Grade Center.
1. Go to any Content Area (example: Assignments, Course Documents, etc.) in your UBlearns course
2. Click Assessments
3. Click Panopto Quiz tool
4. Click Submit
5. Click on the name of the quiz you just created to insert the Panopto Quiz
6. Select the video quiz and click Insert
7. Click on the Content Area that you see next to your course name towards the top left-hand corner of the screen to return to the course
Either change the sharing setting inside Panopto to “Anyone at your organization with the link” or use the Panopto Video Embed tool. Viewers should enable third-party cookies in their browser.
Provision your course (see Step 1 above) before you can use Panopto video with your course.
After students answer the final question by clicking Finish they must also click Continue in order for the grades to be imported.
