What is a Kaltura Video Quiz?

A Video Quiz allows you to add different types of questions based on an already existing video. A question can be added at any time in a video, using the user-friendly Quiz Editor. While the student is watching the video, the questions are displayed at the time you selected, the video resumes playing once the questions are answered.  

A number of settings allow the instructor to choose whether students:

• may re-watch portions in the video prior to a question;  
• skip questions; 
• Re-answer questions; 
• be shown the correct answer.  

It is also possible to give students any hints and/or explanations of the correct answer.  

How do I create a Kaltura Video Quiz?

1. Go to a Canvas course and select My Media in the menu on the left. You can find any previously created videos or upload new videos here.
2. Click on Add New in the menu and select Video Quiz.
3. Select the video to which you want to add questions from the list by clicking on Select.
4. The Quiz Editor will now launch. This is the same editing screen as for the Launch Editor. You can add questions to your video here.

Find the right point to add your question by playing the video or scrolling through the timeline below it. An +Add Question button will appear on screen. Click on it to add a question and optional answers.

In the case of a multiple choice question, for example, you can drag a correct answer (green) to the place where you want it displayed. You can also drag and drop other answer options, adding a maximum of four answers. Click on the ‘light bulb’ in the top right-hand corner to add hints for your students and/or an explanation of the correct answer.

This hint/explanation appears when the student has submitted all the answers (i.e., at the end of the quiz).  In doing so, click (after 'Submit') on a particular question, and then in the top right corner is click'Why' for the explanation.
