Completing Video-based Discussions (Students)

Creating Your Video-based Discussion Post

1. In the myCourses Discussion, start a new thread or create a reply as you normally would for a text-based discussion.

2. In the text editor, click the Insert Stuff button
   
   
   

3. Click Panopto.
   
   
   

4. Use one of the following recording methods. Review General Recording Tips for advice on making good recordings. Verify that you have the correct course and Panopto "assignment" folder selected. 

• Use the built-in camera on your mobile device. Click the Upload tab in the Panopto integration to record a new video on your device.

• Use the Panopto Capture recorder in the browser or on certain mobile devices (not yet supported for Apple mobile devices). Click the Record tab to record using this tool. Students will need to have their own webcam/microphone. 
  
  

5. Click the green Insert button in the Panopto frame then the blue Insert button at the bottom of the popup.
   

6. Your video will appear embedded in the text editor of the discussion post. Once you are ready, click Post to add your discussion post to the thread.
   
   

7. Immediately open the video in the Panopto web portal to generate automatic speech recognition (ASR) captioning and edit the ASR captions. If you delay in creating these captions, other students may not be able to fully participate in the activity.

Replying to Other Students in a Video-based Discussion

There are a few options based on the discussion activity instructions your instructor gave you:

• Use the myCourses Discussion tool as you normally would to write text replies or reply with a new video using the instructions above.

• You and the other students can use the Panopto discussions feature in the video player itself to leave time-stamped comments on the videos. Panopto discussions are public to all viewers so use this feature for comments you want the entire class to read.
