Adding Quiz Questions to a Panopto Video

You can add quiz questions that appear during your Panopto recording to increase student engagement and to provide comprehension checks while watching Panopto videos.

You can embed the video in the course for students to check their knowledge without receiving a score. If you would like to generate a score for the quizzes in the Panopto video, you can create a Panopto Assignment.

If you still have questions, please see the video at the end of the page.

1.7. Fill In the Blank: Gives you the option to ask questions that require users to fill in answers to the question. The prompt will ask for the correct answer to be provided (Fig. 6).  An underscore _ needs to be placed before and after the answer. For portions of the question where there are multiple possible answers for a blank space, insert a divider | between each potential answer. For example, if the phrase that must be completed is The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and the quiz taker must guess quick and then can guess either lazy dog or lazydog the Prompt section would be written as The _quick_ brown fox jumps over the _lazydog | lazy dog_, as pictured below in Figure 6. In the Preview section, you will see the possible answers listed and separated by commas.
