10.21. In-Video Quiz Block#

The In-Video Quiz block allows course authors to create active learning opportunities for learners inside their videos. These quizzes can increase the understanding of the material in a video for the learner. It also adds more active learning to the course as a whole.

  • If you do not have any videos in the Unit, you will receive a “Content Not Found” error message.

  • You need at least one problem in the Unit. From the problem dropdown, select which problem you want to add to your In-Video Quiz.

  • If you do not have any problems in the Unit, you will receive a “Content Not Found” error message.

  • In the Time field, select the timestamp in the video at which you want the problem to appear.

  • In the Jump back field, you can configure “jump points” which route the learner back to a specific timestamp in the video where the topic was covered.

  • To add a new problem, select the Add problem button.

In the In-Video Quiz editor, use the Video dropdown to choose the target video, then configure each problem with a Time and optional Jump back timestamp.
