When importing an existing Moodle course to a new semester, will the links to videos still work?

Importing Panopto activities and links into a new Moodle course will continue to give students access to those videos, as long as you provision the new Moodle course in Panopto.  This is done by adding the Panopto block and selecting “Provision” from the block.  See How to Add the Panopto Block to Moodle Courses


Please note: If you are using the interactive features of Panopto, such as Quiz or Discussion, the process will be different.  You will need to login to Panopto and make a copy of the video which will clear out previous quiz results and discussion posts.  Then, in the new Moodle course, link to the video copy rather than the original video.  Each Moodle course that you provision with Panopto will have a course folder in Panopto.  Suggested best practice is to organize videos that have interactive features in the Panopto Moodle course folders to avoid confusion between video originals and copies.  Please contact ITSHelp@Colgate.edu for assistance as needed.
