Configuring a Blackboard Learn Course to Use Panopto (How-to)

Panopto is a video content management system for creating, uploading, managing, and sharing video and audio files. It’s a centralized, secure place for recorded lectures, flipped classroom videos, campus events, and more. It comes with built-in video analytics, a web-based video editor, automatic encoding to ensure your videos play properly, and a search engine. If you have never used Panopto before, you must provision your Blackboard Course for use by Panopto. Instructions are below for setting up Panopto for both Blackboard Ultra and Blackboard Original courses.

Blackboard Learn Ultra Course Set Up

NOTE: These steps must be completed for each course in each term to allow you to create and distribute multimedia content. Permissions are course-specific, and any content created for this course/folder will be immediately viewable by all enrolled students in the course. As the instructor, you are the only individual who can create content for a course. If you want your students to create content, you must Create An Assignment Folder for the course.

  1. Open a course where you are an instructor, and select Books and Tools located under the Details & Actions section.
  2. Select Ultra Version Panopto Video Library from the Available tools list.

Once you add the tool, a folder will be created for your course and will be easily accessible from within your Course Content.
