Description
Are you looking for new ways to use your video lectures to boost student engagement and check for understanding and strengthen your student learning assessment practices? Do you want to transform your course videos from passive content into active learning tools?
Join us for a hands-on workshop focused on YuJa's interactive quizzing and active learning features. This session will show you how to embed questions directly into your videos, turning them into powerful tools for assessment and student interaction.
In this workshop, we will cover:
Building a Video Quiz: A step-by-step guide to creating and adding a video quixz or a playback quiz to any video in your media library.
Exploring Question Types: Learn how to use multiple choice, multiple select, and true/false questions effectively.
Providing Instant Feedback: Discover how to add targeted feedback and explanations for both correct and incorrect answers.
Gradebook Integration: Understand how to sync your YuJa quiz results directly to your Blackboard gradebook.
Student Video Assignments: Create assignments that engage students in producing their own video content
Accessibility: Ensure videos have captions for accessibility and student success.
