When developing and implementing video assessments, consider the following elements to maximize this learning activity:

• Determine if the video quiz is either self-directed formative learning or summative assessment activity.
• Create engaging video quizzes by incorporating frequent interactions throughout the video appropriate for its length and all the way to the end, not only at the beginning or end.
• The best practice for video engagement is to keep videos short, ideally less than 6-minutes in duration.
• Incorporate your talking head with slides rather than slides alone.
• Create or include videos with a more personal feel as this is more important than its production quality.

For more on video assessment best practice and recommendations, review page 2 of this MIT large-scale empirical study.

Kaltura's Video Quiz feature is an effective learning tool that allows you to seamlessly embed interactions such as a reflection point, multiple choice, true/false and open-ended questions, at any time in a video, including YouTube videos.

Each question will appear at its chosen point on the timeline, and the video will continue playing after each question is viewed and/or answered. As faculty, you have the option to grade this activity, provide all interactions as a Pre-test download, prevent fast-forwarding, allow learners to repeat and/or skip questions, revise answers, receive hints and receive immediate feedback based on your correct answer rationale.

To create a video assessment activity for an existing YouTube video within your Kaltura account, follow the instructions below after accessing your Canvas My Media tool:

1. Select Add New to invoke the menu and select Video Quiz. 

   Image

   

2. Displayed are all eligible videos for assessment activity. After identifying the desired content, choose the Select button to the right of that video. 

   Image

   
3. On the Quiz Editor page, select the Play button to preview the video and select Pause (1) to insert a question at the time stamp.
    

4. To insert a question after pausing, select the Add a Question (2) button. Question types available for Video Quizzes are: Multiple Choice, True/False, Reflection Point, and Open-Ended Questions (3). 

   Image

   
   • Note: Only Multiple Choice and True/False questions are automatically scored. Review Formative best practices section for details.
      

5. Enter your question text (1) and elect correct answers (2). For multiple choice questions, you can generate two additional choices for a total of four (3). Then select Save (4). The new question will appear on the timeline at the bottom of the Quiz Editor (5). 

   Image

   

   • Note: Multiple choice, True/False and Open-ended questions allow you to provide either a hint and/or a given rationale for the correct answer. To enter this information, select the lightbulb icon (1) to reveal both options (2). 

     Image

     

6. On the left side of the Quiz Editor, select Details (1) to edit the name and description of the quiz (annotated area), Scores (2) to adjust score visibility, and Experience (3) to allow for answer modifications. 

   Image

   
7. Select Done to complete your quiz.

The video quiz will appear in My Media as a new copy of your original content.

When creating a video assessment as formative learning activity, consider the following:

• Creating opportunity for low-stakes, self-directed learning (best when graded at best attempt).
• Automatic scoring is only possible with Multiple-choice & True/False questions as these have definitive answers allowing for accuracy in grading.
• Allow to download video interactions as 'Pre-test.'
• Enable students to skip through the video for interactions.
• Reflection point questions are optional as they require no assessment and have no grade impact.
• Does not require human-assessment for feedback.
• Utilize Hint & Why features to help reinforce concepts & correct answer rationale (immediate feedback).

When creating a video assessment as a summative learning activity, consider the following:

• Create timed/proctored knowledge-check opportunity for mid-term or final assessment.
• Incorporate a mix of open-ended, multiple-choice & true/false questions.
• Do not allow downloading video interactions as 'Pre-test.'
• Requires that learners must watch the entire video for submission.
• Does not include reflection questions as these cannot be assessed.
• Requires manual assessment for grading.
• Immediate feedback optional to provide opportunity for open-ended question assessment.

Note: When grading for summative assessments, open-ended questions require accessing video analytics to review student attempt information. Review next section for details.

By default, all Kaltura video quizzes start as ungraded activities. To formally grade video quizzes as learning activities, this content must be created using the Canvas Assignment tool, but only after you've created either formative or summative video interactions.

Review the steps below for instructions on creating such a graded assignment:

1. Select the Canvas Assignment tool (1) and identify the appropriate assignment group (2).
    

2. Select the plus "+" icon (3) then More Options from the floating menu.

7. Lastly, select the Select (2) button to then Save or Save & Publish this assignment.

Beyond capturing standard mediaAnalytics, enabling Video Quiz features provides the ability for quiz creators/media owners and co-editors to view the quiz user analytics from available submissions, known as Userreports. The Userreports is what allows you as faculty to review all answer choices to MC & T/F questions and provides the student submitted text for open-ended and essay-like responses, allowing you to assess as part of a summative learning activity.

To access mediaAnalytics and review Userreports with detailed, unique learner input to your built-in interactions, follow the steps below only after publishing this video quiz within your course Media Gallery:

1. Select Analytics (2) from the Actions (1) drop-down menu.
