Post author By Mario Menendez
Post date July 7, 2023

Panopto is an enterprise video hosting platform, providing a cloud-based service to centrally manage your recorded videos, lectures, and presentations. As a Panopto user, you can choose to automatically import Zoom Meeting cloud recordings to your Panopto account.

NOTE: The automatic import feature does not apply to Zoom Meeting recordings saved to a user’s local device.

Log into your Panopto account, using your EID, password, and MFA (multi-factor authorization) for access.
In your Panopto home page, click on your user icon (A) and from the pop-up window select User Settings (B).
From the User Settings window, under Meeting Import Settings, check ACC Zoom (Zoom) (A) and click Update (B) to enable the automatic import option.
Now that the automatic import option is enabled, once a new Zoom Meeting cloud recording is made, the imported file is saved to Meeting Recordings (a subfolder of My Folder in your Panopto account).

NOTE: Enabling the automatic import setting will only take effect for Zoom Meeting cloud recordings made after the settings change. Cloud recordings made prior to the adjustment will not automatically import to your Panopto account retroactively.

Setting a Custom Course Status in Qwickly Attendance

Qwickly Attendance provides power and flexibility with attendance statuses. Three attendance statuses are built in (Present, Absent, and Excused) and others can be created for all courses or individual courses. Each status has an absence weight and points attached to provide basic options like late or tardy all the way to building complex participation scales. This enables faculty to set items as partial credit, award bonuses for going to study sessions and create participation scale (i.e. 1-5 points per day).

Taking Qwickly Attendance by Groups or with a Check-In Timer

Qwickly Attendance offers a variety of ways to take attendance: take attendance manually using a list of students, click through students one by one, or start a student check-in session in which students can check in on their own devices.

Attendance by Groups or Sections

Qwickly Attendance allows instructors to take attendance for select groups or sections of students in a course if it has been set up in such a way. This feature allows instructors to keep attendance when a single Blackboard Ultra course is used to maintain the enrollment of 2 or more separate course sections.

Using a Check-In Timer

Checking in allows instructors to skip manually taking attendance and gives students credit for being in class. Qwickly Attendance allows Instructors to set a timer for a student check-in attendance session. When running the check-in session, this timer will be displayed on the instructor screen.

Click the article link and view the video below to learn more about how to enable the timer during student check-in.
