Moodle Panopto Student Submission Activity

This plugin adds a Panopto Student Submission activity to Moodle. This tool can be used to create activities that will allow students to submit Panopto Content to be graded by graders for the course.

This is the current stable release version of the Panopto Student Submission Activity for Moodle. Once installed, this plugin will add a new Panopto Student Submission Activity to the Activity or Resources section of a course. The new activity allows instructors to create assignments, view the student submissions, and grade them. It also allows students to submit their Panopto videos to be graded.

This version supports (a) Moodle 4.5, 5.0, 5.1 running with PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and (b) Panopto version 10.6.1 or later.

Updating the Panopto Student Submission Activity for Moodle plugin to this version also required that you update the Panopto Moodle Block plugin to version 2022122000 or higher.

Below is the list of updates from the previous release (2025112600).

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• LTI Integration: Resolved a login loop that occurred when selecting Panopto content via LTI across different domains. Implemented a cross-site repost handshake to ensure Moodle session cookies are correctly transmitted under modern SameSite=Lax policies.


• User Interface: Fixed a CSS issue where plugin styles were inadvertently interfering with global Moodle stylesheets, ensuring the core Moodle UI remains unaffected.
