Adding gradable quizzes to your videos- Watch and click along

Schedule: Monday, July 29, 2024, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Online, Microsoft Teams
Instructors: Mark Lubrick
Did you know you can add quizzes on top of your videos for students to complete? These can even be gradable with the grades sent to your Brightspace course. There are a mix of question types including auto-graded ones and short answer questions you would grade yourself. You can also create a quiz that grades people based on the amount of the video they have watched. In this workshop we will teach you how to create these quizzes, embed them in Brightspace or otherwise distribute them, and access the grades.
This session type is fast paced where I will demonstrate how to do things without a break for you to try them.
