To provision a Moodle course

Note

About Moodle

Moodle course only needs provisioning once by one user with editing rights, usually any member of staff enrolled on the course.  

Provisioning creates a corresponding folder on Panopto where enrolled users can access video content. By default, students are assigned as ‘Viewers’ (can view videos only) and staff ‘Creators’ (view, create and upload videos to the course folder).

To provision a Moodle course: 

  1. Go to Moodle
  1. If you need to login, enter your UAL username and password and choose Log in

Note: 

Each Moodle course only needs provisioning once by one user 

If you see a Panopto block (as shown in Step 10) in your Moodle course, Panopto has already been provisioned 

Once provisioned, users enrolled on the same course will have access to related Panopto content after logging into Moodle or, if already logged in, visiting the Moodle course home page where the Panopto block is located 

You will be able to access all of your videos from any of your Moodle sites that have been provisioned. No additional steps are required.
