When:

Jan 28, 2026
10:00 am–10:50 am

Do you ever wonder if students are really engaging with your video lectures? Panopto's in-video quizzing feature is a useful tool to turn passive viewing into active learning and find out what your students know in real time.

In this focused session, you will learn the complete workflow to check for understanding:

  • Build: Add multiple question types (like True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, and Fill In the Blank) directly into your Panopto video timeline.
  • Configure: Set quiz options to provide immediate feedback, allow retakes, or prevent students from skipping ahead.
  • Assess: Access and analyze student responses to quickly identify common points of confusion and inform your teaching.

You'll leave this session ready to build your first quiz and gain valuable insights into your students' learning.
