Body
LMS Content Reuse allows you to retain the entire structure of a folder in one WebCampus course and copy it exactly in another WebCampus course. This is a one-time process that re-creates your course's folder structure in the target/receiving course, then creates reference copies of all videos. This process will also update any embedded links within your WebCampus course, such as assignments, discussions, quizzes, and course pages.
Before You Start
Limitations to LMS Content Reuse
- As a reminder, this tool is not WebCampus’s Course Copy tool and is only designed to copy Panopto content
- Any content in an Assignment or Student Submission folder will not be copied, nor will any user-contributed content such as notes, discussions, viewing statistics, or quiz data, although the quiz itself will be copied
- Only one source folder can be copied to the target course folder, one time. Subsequent copy processes cannot be initiated
- Panopto LMS Content Reuse is a one-time only process
Before copying Panopto content, ensure that:
- Panopto is enabled in your WebCampus course and you have clicked on it to generate the folder in your course.
- Videos have been edited for FERPA compliance, such as removing or disguising any student participation
- Videos have been captioned per UNLV Accessibility Standards and Procedures.
- Reviewed all options for reusing Panopto content before proceeding with these instructions
Performing the Copy
LMS Content Reuse is a one-time process
Once a source/sending folder and a target/receiving folder has gone though this process, it is no longer available. Ensure you select the correct target and source folders carefully, as the process is irreversible.
If the wrong folder is selected, the only way to repeat the LMS Content Reuse process is to reset the WebCampus course. However, resetting course content permanently removes ALL content and it cannot be recovered.
- Go to WebCampus
- Select the course where your videos are located, then select Panopto Recordings
- Make sure you have the subfolders and structure set to how you want it to appear in the new course
- Switch to the course you want to copy the videos to. If the Panopto Recordings is not in the left navigation, activate it for the course
- Select Settings
- Under Overview, scroll down to Course Video Copy
- Select Choose source folder
- Select the Panopto folder of the course where your videos are located:
- You may ignore Include Zoom videos as there is no Zoom integration configured
- Selecting Include scheduled recordings will also import recordings captured from classrooms, provided you have edited them for FERPA and captioning compliance
- Select Begin folder copy
- Confirm the message warning you this is a one-time process
- Copying will then begin automatically
Wait for the folder structures and Panopto videos to copy over. This process can take up to 24 hours depending on the size of the content being copied. While processing, the tool will indicate it is currently in progress.
Once complete, the
Overview tab of the course folder will show the previous course folder for the copy
Updating Links or Embeded Content
If you utilized the Panopto button in the previous course when embedding videos into your course (such as for assignments, discussions, quizzes, and course pages), WebCampus and Panopto will automatically update these embeds to work properly in the new course.
This only works if you:
This process will not work if you:
- Manually used the embed code from Panopto's sharing page
- Manually distributed or added the link to your course from Panopto's sharing page
