Video assignments need specific setup
Moodle Assignments must be set up specifically for video submissions. It is not appropriate to instruct students to upload videos directly to Moodle as this can cause issues with UCL Moodle's load time and functionality. For guidance on setting up video assignments using Panopto, see How to create a Panopto Video Assignment.
