How to use Panopto to simulate real-life problems
Challenge: enabling students to apply theory to practice
Activity overview:
This activity uses Panopto to simulate a real-life scenarios in order to support the students with applying theory in a real-world application
Practice
ABC – Discussion Type Activity
This activity relates to the ABC activity type of practice. Learning through practice enables the learner to adapt their actions to the task and apply theory to a practical situation. They can then use feedback to improve their next action.
Activity in practice:
Academic: David Rugara
School: Lincoln International Business School
David Rugara developed scanrios where students could play the role of a buisness manager. Several problems were presented to the students, they were then able to use their role-play to find solutions together. Individual feedback was able to be given as all of the scenarios were recorded.

Recommended tools
Preparing the Activity
- Develop a scenario for role-playing/simulation which is relevant to students and their topic or course ofcus. This is an activity that needs to be designed and planned well in advance.
- Identify additional actors who could play support roles in the session (if necessary)
- Book a physical space adequate for the role-play/scenario activity. Please note this can be replicated online using webinar tools such as collaborate ultra/MS teams.
- Familiarise yourself with the Panopto
- Brief your students fully on what to expect and what is expected of them. This includes dates and times and any invitations that may need to be sent out.
Running the Activity
Below is one example of how this activity can be used with students.
- Run the scenario with the students
- Invite students to access their own performance recording, along with individual feedback from the teacher
