Use Cincopa media and assignments in Moodle LMS

Teachers and students can insert Cincopa media into Moodle content and submit media assignments when the relevant plugins are installed and enabled.

Check the installed plugins

Ask the Moodle administrator which Cincopa filter, editor button, and assignment plugin are enabled. The editor can be TinyMCE or an older Atto installation, and available controls depend on the Moodle and plugin versions.

For administrator setup, use Install Cincopa Plugins in Moodle. This guide focuses on using those plugins after installation.

Insert media with the Cincopa filter

  • Edit the course content or post where the media belongs.
  • Copy the Cincopa shortcode for the intended gallery or asset from its embed panel.
  • Paste it into the Moodle content and save.
  • View the saved content to confirm that the enabled Cincopa filter renders the player.

If the shortcode appears as text, ask the administrator to check the filter and its scope. A shortcode does not render on a site without the appropriate integration. See embed methods.

Use the editor button

Where the installed TinyMCE or Atto plugin provides a Cincopa button, click it to open the media selector. Use available tags to locate a gallery or asset, select the item, and insert it into the content.

The picker may also offer upload or recording controls. Follow the permissions for the connected Cincopa account, and check the saved course page as a student before relying on the result.

Create a media assignment as a teacher

  • Add an Assignment activity to the course.
  • Enter the assignment name, instructions, and other required settings.
  • Enable Cincopa submissions in the submission options.
  • Save the assignment and confirm its availability to the intended students.

Submit media as a student

Open the assignment and choose Add submission. Upload or drag the required media into the Cincopa submission area, wait for completion, and save. Complete any additional final-submission step required by that Moodle assignment.

The media is stored in the connected Cincopa account for the teacher's review. Check that the submission status is correct; uploading a file and submitting the assignment are distinct steps.

Record a screencast

If your course supports a Cincopa recorder, choose the appropriate browser tab, screen, or camera mode, grant the required permissions, and record only the intended material. After saving the recording, insert or submit it through the course workflow.

For the separate recording tool, see Cincopa RecTrace. Account and course separation can be configured with Moodle sub-accounts.
