How to add a Question Marker:

Adding Question Markers - To insert a question into a video, one needs to mark a timestamp for when the question will appear on screen.

Step 1: First find a spot in the video you want to insert your question, you can preview the video through the interface by pressing the play button below the video player and timeline. To move freely to a specific point in the video, drag the pointer on the timeline to the desired position.

Step 2: Once you figure out when you want your first question to occur, you can place a Question Marker by scrolling to the bottom of the Question box to a nested box that says “Question appears on-screen at:” and clicking the bottom green pentagon marker.

You should now see a similar green marker on the timeline with the number 1 inside it, indicating that ‘Question 1’ will appear at that moment in time. You should also see the “—:—:—“ in the “Question appears on-screen at:” box transformed to the timestamp of the ‘Question 1’ marker.

How to add a Wrong Answer Marker:

When a student answers a question wrong, you may want to send them back to the point of the video where the answers they need begin to be presented. To do this we can add a Wrong Answer Marker, very similar to the process of adding a Question Marker.

Step 1: First find a spot in the video you want to send a viewer back to. You can preview the video through the interface by pressing the play button below the video player and timeline. To move freely to a specific point in the video, drag the seeker on the timeline to the desired position.

Step 2: Once you figure out the spot in the video you want to send the viewer back to, you can place a Wrong Answer Marker by scrolling to the bottom of the Question box to a nested box that says “Send wrong answers to:” and clicking the bottom red pentagon marker.

You should now see a similar red marker on the timeline with the number 1 inside it, indicating the information needed to answer ‘Question 1’ will appear at that moment in time. You should also see the “—:—:—“ in the “Send wrong answers to:” box transformed to the timestamp of Question 1’s Wrong Answer Marker.

How to Write a Question:

To write a question, scroll to the Question box, and click the blank text box below the text “Question Text” to enable the type function so you can start typing it out.

How to write multiple choice answers:

For ‘Multiple Choice’ questions you have to provide answers that students can be automatically graded on. To type in the text for the choice, you scroll to the Question box and click on the text boxes below the text “Answer Choice Text” that should say “Answer Choice 1”, “Answer Choice 2”, etc. To indicate which answer will be graded as correct, click the check marks symbol next to the answer you want, and the symbol will promptly turn green.

You can also write “Expository Text” for each individual multiple choice answer by hovering over each multiple choice answer and moving your mouse over the window bridge to the Expository Text box that pops up. The Expository Text will appear after the viewer has submitted their answer.

How to add more questions:

Each question, as stated before, is indicated by a number. On the timeline each marker is marked with a number of the question it applies to,

and in the Question Box, the question number you are working on is indicated in the top left corner.

To add an additional question, scroll to the box below the question box, and press the circle with a plus.

A “2 '' should appear in its place,

and the question box should indicate it’s now editing question “2” in the top left corner.

To switch between editing questions, click the corresponding number to the question you would like to go to in the box below the Question Box.

How to turn off and on the ability to replay a video:

If you seek to allow viewers to replay your video, scroll down all to the box that says “Allow Quiz Replay”. Clicking anywhere on the box will allow the setting to be turned on and off, with the green hue of the spinning arrow symbol indicating it being on.

How can I add permissions for who can and can’t access my quiz

On the top menu ribbon of the interface, there should be a button labeled “Permissions”.

By clicking it you will open up the permissions window.

By default, all individuals with a netID, and a link to a quiz, can access said quiz. 

In the box labeled “options” you can restrict who can access each quiz by checking the “Enable Private Mode” box. This will only allow students and admins who are white listed to see the quiz.

To apply your permission setting, click the green “submit” button in the bottom box of the permissions window.
