Tracking Student Activity of Panopto Videos

Panopto statistics provides faculty with insight as to the viewing behaviors of recordings by students within the course.  Statistics include the number of views, number of unique viewers, duration of viewing and identification of individuals who viewed the recordings.

Review Statistics For a Recording Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log into MyClasses, select the desired course, and click Panopto Recordings from the course navigation. If the Panopto Recordings option is not visible on the course navigation menu, see Enabling Panopto in Your MyClasses Course for information on how to add it to your course menu. Note: If the course you open, such as Fall 2022, has videos embedded from a previous course, such as Fall 2021, and the videos are hosted in the previous Panopto course folder, then you will need to navigate to the folder the videos are hosted in (Fall 2021) to review student activity.

6. Identification of the specific individuals who have viewed the recordings are available, including the number of viewings and duration of minutes watched. When students click on a video that is embedded within a MyClasses course, their single-sign on is recognized and their name will be identified under the Viewer column. If users access the video through an external link (not signed into MyClasses) then individual viewers will be identified as "Anonymous." This list default to the Top Viewers, but can be expanded to include all viewers by clicking "See All."
   
   
   
   

7. All reports can be downloaded to an Excel file to share or save by selecting the Download icon at the top right hand corner of the statistics topic, or by clicking on the type of report listed under Download Reports.
