Assignment Folders for Student Submissions in Panopto

Student video Blackboard Panopto assignment upload folder

Overview

A Panopto assignment folder is a subfolder that shares a user list with its parent folder. Those with Viewer access to the parent folder have the ability to record and upload videos to the assignment folder. This allows students to create videos and submit them to the course folder using Panopto. Configuring your Blackboard course to use Panopto is a prerequisite for this process. Please see https://spidertechnet.richmond.edu/TDClient/1955/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=99972 to complete the initial Panopto setup steps if needed.
