Setting Up Panopto Quizzes with Automatic Grade Passback

Sample Quiz Questions

Assigning a Video Quiz to Students

  1. In your WebCampus course where you plan to post the video quiz, select Assignments.
  2. Select + Assignment.
  3. Input an assignment title as well as any directions in the rich content editor below the title. Do not embed the video into the editor.
  4. Input the number of points to award for students.
    1. Panopto only supports awarding points, and no other type (such as complete / incomplete).
    2. When students complete the quiz in Panopto, Panopto passes a percentage back to WebCampus and points are awarded porportonally. For example, if your WebCampus assignment is worth 10 points, and you have 10 questions in your Panopto quiz, each question will be worth one (1) point. If a student gets all questions correct, Panopto will pass 100% to WebCampus, and the score is calculated at 10 points earned. If a student gets 7/10 questions correct, Panopto passes 70% to WebCampus and WebCampus assigns 7 points.
