The need for interactive video assessment tools
ESL students in Listening classes:• There is not enough listening practice to improve listening skills• Traditional note-taking on paper and answering open-ended
questions can be boring• Answering open-ended questions can be very ambiguous
Teachers in Listening classes:• Grading paper-based listening tests is very time-consuming• The work can become monotonous and students lose motivation• When a video is assigned as homework, there is no way to check if the
student finished watching the video • What are some ways to highlight important information in a video ?• How can I identify patterns of mistakes my students make?• How can I meet the needs of digital natives?

Capabilities of interactive video tools 1:
The teachers can
•Search existing video from sources such as YouTube, Khan Academy, Vimeo, Ted, National Geographic
•Create your own video
•Place questions and feedback into the videos to create a better learning experience for students.
•Customize the exact video clip to assign, starting at any point and ending at any point to assign a specific “snippet.”

Capabilities of interactive video tools 2:
• Record own voice over the assigned video for narration or to add additional information (in EdPuzzle)
• Embed custom assessment questions (true/false, multiple choice, open format) into the assigned video at any point on the video timeline
• Review individual student and course-level assessment analytics to identify % of students who have completed the assignment.
• Students can create their own video assessment projects as a class assignment.

Analytics
• See which students have completed watching assigned videos
• See if the students re-watched any parts of the lecture
• Evaluate if students understood the concepts
• See “at a glance” how the class is progressing with the assignment
16
EdPuzzle: You can see the progress of the class and the progress of each individual student

Downsides:
•Creating video lessons can be time consuming
•The free membership doesn’t provide as many options as the paid one
•The site does not link to some LMSs
•Watching videos is primarily passive learning activity
24
What are the best practices for EdPuzzle and Zaption?
• Flipped classroom sessions: • students can watch an assigned video before class time, and instructors
can focus time in the face-to-face session based on the data seen in the analytics.
• Face-to-face classes: • modify the typical top-down lecture: assign learning labs within the
classroom where students work independently reviewing video material and answering questions in the assessments.
• assign it as homework used as formative assessment to guide the scope and sequence of material covered in class.
25
What are the best practices for EdPuzzle and Zaption?
• Online courses• improve the use of video as a way to convey course content. By
instructors adding questions to the videos, students become more engaged in the learning process and the learning becomes more active.
• Instructors should use the analytic data to achieve deeper learning (analyze the questions that were problematic)
• Skillfully crafted questions and interactions can allow for timely formative assessment

Try and play with both of them!! The more you use a tool the more you are
able to see which one best fits your learners’ needs.
