Creating a Panopto Video Quiz Assignment in Canvas

Once quiz questions have been added to a Panopto video, connecting the video with a Canvas Assignment is required so the quiz results are added to Canvas Grades. For information about creating the video quiz refer to the document Adding Quiz Questions to a Panopto Video.

Important Note - In order for quiz results from a Video Quiz Assignment to be added to Canvas Grades, the students must access the video by going to the Canvas Assignment and click on Play. If they access the video via Panopto Recordings, their quiz results will only be captured by Panopto Quiz Results, and Not be added to the gradebook. The only way to capture those students' results when this happens is to add the quiz results for each student, one-by-one, to the gradebook, after looking them up in the Panopto Quiz Result. The quiz will submit results if vier closes the browser. Limiting how many times a student can see and answer a question could result in students not being able to finish the quiz if they take a break and close the browser tab, navigate away from video, etc."
