This guide is meant to assist faculty in adding a quiz to a Panopto Video, and then adding that video quiz into Canvas as an assignment so that the results appear in your Canvas Gradebook. Please note that at this time, playlists are not supported.

Creating a Panopto Video Quiz

1. Go to https://stjohns.hosted.panopto.com and log in using “CanvasProd,” followed by your Single Sign-On credentials

2. Find the video you wish to add. Hover your mouse over the video thumbnail and click the “Edit” button, highlighted in image below:

3. You are now in the Panopto Editor. Click in the timeline to navigate to the place in the video where you would like to insert a quiz. The red vertical line will indicate where the quiz will be added in the video.

4. In the left Navigation menu, click on Quizzes and then select Add a Quiz.

5. A quiz window will appear in your secondary stream window where you can fill in the details for your quiz.

6. Within the form, you can select the drop-down menu in the top right corner to show different types of quiz questions. The quiz options include True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, and Fill In The Blank. The default is multiple choice.

7. Multiple Choice: Gives you the option to have several answers present, but only one answer can be chosen as correct. When the option is first chosen, there will only be two answer fields. Another answer field can be added by clicking the "Add Answer..." button. You need to have the correct answer selected before adding another question.

8. Fill In the Blank: Gives you the option to ask questions that require users to fill in answers to the question. The prompt will ask for the correct answer to be provided.  An underscore _ needs to be placed before and after the answer. For portions of the question where there are multiple possible answers for a blank space, insert a divider | between each potential answer. For example, if the phrase that must be completed is The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and the quiz taker must guess quick and then can guess either lazy dog or lazydog the Prompt section would be written as The _quick_ brown fox jumps over the _lazydog | lazy dog_, as pictured below. In the Preview section, you will see the possible answers listed and separated by commas. 

9. To remove an answer you can click on the X next to any of the answers.

10. Other quiz question types include True/False, which gives you the option to ask a True or False question. And Multiple Select, which gives you the option to have several answers present and more than one can be selected as correct. Note: when using multiple select, all correct answers must be selected by the viewer in order to be marked as a correct response. 

11. Once you are done with a question and want to add another one, click the Add a Question button at the bottom of the form.

12. If you need to navigate to a different question in your quiz, you can use the Back and Next buttons at the bottom of the form.

13. Once you have added all of your questions, click the Done button at the bottom of the form.

14. You will then be directed to the Options page for this Quiz. In this page, you can:

    • Allow viewers to retake the Quiz. Please note: When this is enabled, Panopto can only retain a user's most recent score.

    • Show grade after taking this quiz (If this is enabled you can also allow review of correct answers and explanations)

    • Allow review of correct answers and explanations

    • Block advancing in the video until answering this quiz. Please note: This applies to viewers who have not yet completed the quiz. Once the quiz is completed, the viewer has the option to continue watching.

    • Delete questions by clicking the Xs

    • Reorganize the questions by using the arrows

15. Once you are finished, click the Finish button. The name of your quiz will now appear in the Quizzing pane.

16. Repeat these steps for each quiz you want to add to your session. When you are finished, click Publish. During playback, when it is time for a Quiz the video will pause until the question(s) is/are answered.

Use a Panopto Quiz as a Canvas Assignment

1. Go to https://signon.stjohns.edu and sign in using your credentials. Click the “Canvas LMS” tab.

2. Navigate to your Canvas course and select the Assignments tab in your course navigation.In the textboxes provided, add an Assignment Name, and a description (if needed), and then provide a Points value for the assignment (Fig. 3).  Please note: the setting Display Grades As is required to be set to Points, as Panopto does not support any of the other grading types at this time. 

3. In the top-right corner of the Assignments window, select the + Assignment button.

4. In the textboxes provided, add an Assignment Name, and a description (if needed), and then provide a Points value for the assignment.  Please note: the setting Display Grades As is required to be set to Points, as Panopto does not support any of the other grading types at this time. 

5. For the Submission Type, select External Tool. Then, select the Find button menu. Note: If you select the checkbox for Load This Tool In A New Tab, your students will be prompted to launch the video in a new browser tab. If you leave this unchecked, the video will embed and play directly within the Canvas assignment. 

6. When Find is selected, a pop-up window will appear with a list of your Canvas external tools. Select your Panopto external tool, and then select which Panopto video you'd like to set as the assignment. Select Insert. Note: You can also adjust your Video Embed Options before inserting the video. To learn more about the Video Embed Options, see Learn About the Video Embed Options in an LMS (Panopto Support).

7. In the Assign box, you can set the availability for the assignment and its due date.  Select Save for later editing or Save & Publish to make it available to students during the availability dates set in the Assign box. Note: If you've edited an assignment after saving and publishing it, selecting the checkbox next to Notify users that this content has changed will let your students know that the assignment has changed. 

8. Once saved, the assignment will now show up on the Assignments page and can be edited by the instructor. Please note: Students must use the link in the assignment for their grade to report back to Canvas.

Please note the following: 

• You can embed a video without an existing quiz in it. If you want to do this, select Save, go to Panopto and create the quiz in the editor, and then go back to Canvas and click Save & Publish. If you embed a video with multiple quizzes, they will be rolled up into one score and tracked as one assignment instead of as individual quizzes in the video. 

• For a quiz grade to be passed to the Canvas Gradebook, the user must complete all questions in the quiz, as there is no partial credit. This is also true in instances where there are multiple correct answers/multiple choice, where the user will receive a zero score unless they select all of the correct answers. 

• The option to Watch in Panopto, represented by the pop-out arrow icon in the lower right corner of the video, will be greyed out and unavailable as we do not allow the Panopto Interactive Viewer to be launched in a new tab if the video is being graded as a quiz or based on a view.
