Panopto: Add the Panopto block to a Moodle course

The Panopto block creates a link between your Moodle course and Bryn Mawr's Panopto instance. When you add a Panopto lock to your course and "provision" it, Panopto creates a course folder that mirrors the set up of your Moodle course: anyone with an Instructor or Teacher role in Moodle course will be given Creator permissions on Panopto; anyone with an Auditor or Registered Student role in Moodle course will be given Viewer permissions. The block also contains key links. For all users, it will provide  a list of available recordings. For instructors, it will provides links to editing the settings in the course Panopto folder and downloading the Panopto software.

Sample Panopto block in Moodle

The Panopto block can be added to any academic course in Moodle by anyone who has the role of Instructor of Record or Other Editing Teacher

Add the Panopto course block 

  1. Toggle on Edit Mode in your course.  
  2. Click Add a block.
  3. From the pop-up menu that opens, choose Panopto.
  4. If the block contains a message that the “course has not yet been provisioned” click the Provision Course link.

If you have any difficulty, please copy any error messages and email them to help@brynmawr.edu. In your email, please provide the name of the course in which you are trying to add the block.

For Moodle Archive 

Please note that if you are accessing a past course on Moodle Archive (courses from fall 2017 through summer 2020), you should still have access to the corresponding course folder in Panopto through the Panopto block in a course on Moodle Archive. However, we have had reports of users receiving an error message in the Panopto course block in Moodle Archive and not having connections to past Panopto videos.

Panopto error message: Error retrieving Panopto course folder

This sometimes happens when the connection between Moodle and Panopto needs to be reset. If you have trouble connecting to past course videos through Moodle Archive, please email the help@brynmawr.edu, and we will fix the connection.
