Drop Box or Assignment folder for Student Recordings

All students that are registered for a course will automatically have view access to all the professor's videos that are in that course folder. But students cannot upload videos in the course folder.

You can change student access rights to allow students to create (IE add) Panopto videos by creating an assignment folder in your course.  By default, only you and your individual student will be able to view the videos added to the the assignment subfolder in your course. A student will not be able to view another students videos unless permissions are updated.

Set Up Step 1: Create course assignment folder for your students

An assignment folder is a special subfolder (“course name [assignments]” ) that allows users that can view this folder to create and submit sessions privately. As a creator for this folder, a professor can see and control all content submitted to the assignment folder.

Directions for students on submitting videos in course site

1. Open the Panopto dropbox link in course site OR go.lehigh.edu/panopto 
2. Verify that you are in the correct folder (designated by your professor) or navigate to the correct folder
3. Click create and go to upload media (typically a MP4 or MP3 file)

Note: Students can also add videos and embed links in multiple types of activities in course site.   This is useful for a student adding a video for a grade in a course site assignment that only the professor should view. Students can view others videos in Panopto as well depending on the sharing folder permissions given.  If professors wish to have students submit a video in a discussion, they will need to set up in a forum activity. Then the professor will need to determine where they would like the students to keep these videos and who should have viewing access.
