What is it?

This guide shows you how to submit a Panopto video assignment in your MyDundee module. The most common reason for doing this is to allow students to submit the assignment to the instructor for a grade.

This guide will cover how to record an assignment, and how to post the video directly to the module instructors.

What should I know?
