Panopto Student Video Submission on Blackboard Ultra

This guide is designed to assist staff in setting up a Panopto video assignment in Blackboard Ultra and to provide students with clear instructions for submitting their video assignments. Additionally, it explains how markers can access student submissions and evaluate the last attempts efficiently.

For Staff: Setting Up Panopto Video Assignments

Step 1: Create an Assignment Folder in Panopto

The Assignment Folder acts as a workspace where students can create and edit their videos before final submission. To set it up:

1. Access your Panopto module folder from the “Module Resources” tab in Blackboard Ultra.
2. Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the Panopto page.
3. Select the Create Assignment Folder button.

Once created, the Assignment Folder will:

• Allow students to record and store their drafts.
• Ensure students see only their own submissions.
• Prevent students from editing their work after submitting the final version.

This folder can be reused across multiple assignments within the module.

Step 2: Create a Submission Point in Blackboard Ultra

To allow students to submit their Panopto videos:

1. Navigate to the Module Content section of your Blackboard Ultra course.
2. Click the + button and select Create from the menu.
3. Under Assessment, select Assignment.
4. Configure the assignment by completing the relevant fields (e.g., title, description, due date, points possible, rubric).

Tip for Assignment Description: Copy and paste the following instructions for students:

How to Submit Your Panopto Video Assignment:

Save your assignment once all fields are complete.

For Students: Submitting a Panopto Video Assignment

2. Click the Insert Content button in the toolbar.
3. Select Digital Tool and choose Panopto Student Video Submissions (Ultra).
4. Locate your video or upload a new file if needed.

For ICAs Where Students Submit Panopto Video Links

If students are uploading videos to Panopto and submitting a link in Blackboard, follow these steps:

1. Create a standard Assignment in Blackboard Ultra (as outlined in Step 2 above).
2. In the Description field of the assignment, include the following instructions for students:

How to Submit Your Panopto Video Link:

1. Record and save your video in the Panopto Assignment Folder.
2. Copy the link to your video from Panopto.
3. Paste the link into the text submission box in the assignment area.
4. Click Submit.

This approach allows students to provide a link to their video rather than embedding the video itself.

For Markers: Accessing the Last Attempt Submitted by Students

To access and grade the last submission in Blackboard Ultra:

1. Navigate to the Gradebook in your Blackboard Ultra course.
2. Locate the specific assignment and select the student’s name.
3. In the student’s submission history, identify the most recent attempt (it will be listed chronologically).
4. Open the submission to view the embedded video or video link.

If needed, copy and paste the Panopto video link into a browser to view the video in Panopto.

Comparison with Blackboard Original

In Blackboard Original, markers accessed the last attempt via the Grade Centre by selecting the yellow exclamation mark. In Blackboard Ultra, the process is streamlined within the Gradebook, with all attempts easily accessible in the submission history for each student.

By following these steps, both staff and students can effectively manage Panopto video assignments in Blackboard Ultra, ensuring a seamless submission and grading process.
