Interactive Video Quiz Guidelines

Including Interactive Video Quizzes (IVQs) in your course is an effective way to boost student learning. Questions embedded in a video increase student engagement by sharpening attention and motivation, increasing focus, and giving students a low-stakes opportunity to interact with course material. Before creating an Interactive Video Quiz in Kaltura, look over these guidelines:

IVQ Best Practices

General Guidelines

• Use as formative assessments, learning activities or knowledge checks
• Employ IVQs for material and concepts that require more practice to master
• Keep videos short (4-6 min max) help students target their learning and practice
• Design authentic questions that relate to video content
• Vary question formats - blend inductive and open-ended questions
• Balance the position and tightness of questions. Don't overload your learners.
• Research shows early questions (in first quarter of the video) tend to be answered incorrectly.

Preparation

• Begin by examining the unit or lesson for "gaps" in student performance. What concepts or skills do students struggle with from term to term?
• Once you narrow your topic, create a short (5-8 slides) presentation covering the material
• Draft a script for your voice-over and include it in slide notes

Record the Presentation

• Use Kaltura Capture, the desktop recorder linked top right in Blackboard
• Use the editor to trim, crop or complete any other minor edits
• Upload to Kaltura
