Moodle & Panopto
Integration.
The Moodle Panopto integration enriches your learning management system with a fully embedded video experience. Designed for institutions seeking to enhance online, blended, or flipped instruction, Panopto enables instructors and students to engage with video content natively within Moodle—without extra logins or technical complexity.
End-to-End Video Learning Inside Moodle
By connecting Moodle to Panopto’s secure, scalable video platform, your institution can offer seamless access to lecture capture, student video projects, on-demand resources, and advanced video analytics. This integration ensures that video becomes a natural part of the learning process—intuitive, accessible, and easy to manage.
How Panopto Enhances Teaching and Learning in Moodle
1. Native Video Integration with Secure Access
Panopto integrates into Moodle using LTI 1.3 and secure single sign-on, providing direct access to video tools within the LMS interface. Instructors and students can instantly launch Panopto using their Moodle accounts, eliminating the need for additional passwords or platform switching.
2. Automated Folder Creation for Each Course
As courses are created in Moodle, Panopto automatically provisions corresponding folders for video storage and management. These folders mirror the Moodle course structure, helping educators stay organized and ensuring permissions align with user roles.
3. Flexible Video Embedding Anywhere in the LMS
Educators can embed videos directly into Moodle content using Panopto’s activity module or embed code—whether in lessons, quizzes, forums, or assignments. All videos are interactive, mobile-friendly, and equipped with playback features like speed controls, chapters, and closed captions.
4. Secure Student Video Submissions
Faculty can request video submissions through Moodle assignments, allowing students to record or upload content directly via Panopto. These submissions are stored privately, linked to the course, and easily reviewed by instructors within the Moodle interface.
5. Actionable Insights Through Viewing Data
With built-in analytics, instructors can monitor student engagement across all video content. Panopto tracks individual viewing habits, completion rates, and playback behaviors, helping educators identify learning gaps and optimize delivery.
6. Accessibility Built for Inclusive Learning
Panopto supports automated speech-to-text captioning, manual transcription uploads, and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Every video becomes searchable by keyword, providing all students—regardless of learning need—with an equitable experience.
7. Privacy Controls and Role-Based Permissions
Video access is automatically governed by Moodle’s enrollment roles and permissions. Panopto offers enterprise-grade data security, FERPA and GDPR compliance, and full control over content visibility, sharing, and retention.
8. Ready to Scale for Any Moodle Deployment
Whether you’re hosting Moodle on-premises or through a managed cloud provider, Panopto is compatible with all major environments. The integration supports large-scale deployments, serving institutions of any size with reliability and ease.
