Panopto: Create video quizzes

This article explains how to embed quiz questions in videos stored on Panopto to create video quizzes. Give people a share link to take the video quiz in Panopto or add the video quiz to a Moodle course as a Panopto video assignment. You can always view video quiz results in Panopto; if added to a Moodle course you can also optionally sync quiz grades to the Moodle gradebook.

Before you start, you will need:

A Panopto account. Current Bryn Mawr students, faculty and staff and Haverford students enrolled in Bryn Mawr courses can get access through Bryn Mawr's license; see Panopto: Get and log into your account.
Creator permission for a Panopto video to create a video quiz; Viewer permission that video in order to take it. See Panopto: Sharing recordings

Add a quiz to a Panopto recording

A "quiz" in this case is a set of questions that appear at a certain point in a recording. If you want questions to appear at multiple points, you need to create a quiz for each one. (See also Panopto's How to add a Quiz to a video for a video walkthrough.)

Log into Panopto.
Locate your video.
Hover over it and click (Edit).
Click inside the video timeline to place a red vertical line at the timestamp where you want to insert the quiz question.

4. Type any feedback in the Correct answer explanation (optional) blank.
Click Add a Question to save the question and add another, or Done when you are finished. (You will be able to edit the order of questions later.)

Share a quiz and view results

If you are creating this video quiz for a course, move it to your Panopto course folder to share it with your students. You can also create a video assignment activity for it to place it within the course page and (optionally) add the quiz grade to your Moodle gradebook. See Moodle: Add audio and video using Panopto,

Otherwise, use Panopto share settings and/or links to share it with people taking the quiz. See Panopto: Sharing recordings. They will need to be able to log into Bryn Mawr's Panopto site; see Panopto: Get and log into your account for information about who is eligible for a Panopto account and how they can get access.
