This functionality would be very, very helpful. Currently, if instructors want to use a video-based assessment in which students must write their own answers, they must continue to use the Canvas Quiz option. The Playposit quiz embed tool I used while at Rutgers can do this--instructors can grade the quizzes in Playposit, and once synched, those results are fed to the Canvas Gradebook. While a tool like Playposit may have a steeper learning curve than making Panopto quizzes, I still think instructors and students alike would benefit from this feature.

As a business university, we need to be able to pose questions and receive answers that include mathematical expressions and formulas—especially in subjects like finance, statistics, economics, and quantitative methods.

Therefore, support for LaTeX in the quiz feature is not just a “nice to have,” but a necessity to ensure academic quality and relevance in our teaching. Faculty members who teach in these disciplines currently opt out of using Panopto’s quiz feature precisely because it does not allow for properly formatted mathematical notation in questions and answer choices.

Having something like this would go a long way in keeping track of numerous separate folders cataloguing recordings at different times throughout the day!

This is something that we often run into in higher ed and how I recommend our folks handle it is to make a new reference copy for each cycle. I'm not sure if Cornerstone has support for a "Course Copy" feature, but if it does, it's very possible that Panopto could develop a process to make new reference copies each time a course in the LMS is copied. This is what is done in Canvas with the LTI 1.3 integration, and it works fairly well.

Panopto doesn't (yet) have support for "terms" so there isn't anything on the Panopto side that would allow them to identify/differentiate views coming from different contexts or times within a single artifact. Unless reference copies are used, all of the views are pooled together.

Thank you, Brianna! I would add that it it doesn't necessarily have to be free movement of the audio track sliding on the timeline, even just a button in the "Edit Stream" window (like where "Start Time" is) that's "Shift Audio >/Shift Audio <" and does it in 0.5s increments. That may be easier to develop than an "unlink audio" style feature.

We've implemented an archive policy recently and are now looking at possible options for deletion. We will only be deleting content that has been archived. It would be fantastic and much smoother for all involved if staff were able to easily flag if they wish a recording to be excluded from a deletion policy.

I would envisage a button displayed for each archived recording similar to the publish button for on-demand recordings. Labelled something like "Retain". Setting this option would ensure archived recordings were not processed by delete policies even if they matched all other criteria.

Having an email to creators stating that a recording is due for deletion would allow them time to check and apply retain flags where needed.

This would require that an audit process was re-run prior to the deletion task to make sure that any changes to retain status were included in the retention run. This second audit process could likely be a smaller task which just re-checks all archived recordings scheduled for deletion and whether there has been a change to the retain flag.

Yes, and be able to add LaTeX equations to quiz questions would go along way for STEM!
