How to Add a Quiz to Videos

MacVideo provides the ability to create quizzes for your videos.

The types of quiz questions available are:

  • Multiple choice (question with only one correct answer, 180 character limit for question)
  • True/False (a question with only 2 options: true or false, 450 character limit for question)
  • Reflection point (a video pause combined with text, not graded)
  • Open-ended question (answer the questions with your own words, not graded, 270 character limit)

To get your quiz results, you can view them in the analytics page of the video. Important to note, your viewers will need to be logged into MacVideo for the quiz results to be tracked. MacVideo video quizzes also have the capability to be integrated into the gradebook within Avenue to Learn. If you’d like your quizzes to be graded within Avenue to Learn, see the tutorial on that here.

Our recommendations for the use of video quizzes would be for short knowledge checks or participation checkpoints. If you need deep, thorough assessment, it would be worthwhile to look at other assessment options in your course. The best workflow for video quizzes in MacVideo is to consider the entire video as a quiz item with questions placed throughout different times within the video rather than having multiple consecutive questions all in one section. The questions within the quiz editor do not stack, so you will need to add time in between questions. There are limitations on video quizzes. Please make sure you do a thorough testing of the features before you plan on implementing video quizzes within your course. All the features of the video quiz are not fully accessible for screen readers so always make sure to provide alternatives for those who need them.

Because MacVideo quizzes are completely browser based some students may experience issues viewing video quizzes depending on their browser settings. Make sure to provide your students with instructions on how to enable cookies and cross-site tracking. See the tutorial here.
