A great benefit of online/hybrid learning is the use of multimedia materials (documents, audios, and videos) to increase student engagement, and address diverse learning needs.

However, students often passively consume the recorded material assigned before class, thus coming to lectures unprepared, and teachers have to explain the content again. Interactive Video helps address this issue, by using social annotation to activate student engagement with the video materials.
Create video activity
Instructors upload and add in-line questions or discussion threads to specific moments of the videos, and also decide which ones are compulsory to answer before proceeding to the next.
Provide input and participate in discussion
Students watch the videos, answer the annotated questions and discussions. They can also add their own questions or discussions by adding timestamps in the video.
access student learning analytics
Teachers track students’ performance in the activity to monitor their progress and intervene when necessary.
Add discussion points, multiple choice or and/or open questions directly to certain points of your video to stimulate active participation with and comprehension of the material. Optionally make certain questions compulsory to answer before proceeding, or allow students to start their own discussions too.
Include attachments in the form of documents or images to the questions to incorporate different media and provide broader context. You can even leave a voice-note to let students hear it directly from you.
Choose whether to grade students based on criteria you set, such as answering questions (correctly) or participating in discussions, then synchronize the results with your native LMS.
Follow students' progress and performance within the tool, and download the analytics spreadsheet for an even more thorough analysis.
Choose whether to prevent students from downloading or modifying the materials in accordance with your copyright policy.
Instructors can upload videos of various file types from their computer. They can also record a video or their screen directly without needing a third-party tool.
