Video Quizzes

There are several ways to quiz students on the content of a video.

OPTION 1 - Panopto Video

You can add quizzes directly into your Panopto videos. This allows you to ask a question at any point in the video. For example, yo you could have 3 or 4 questions sprinkled throughout your video and then add those quiz enhanced videos as CANVAS assignments. There are limited question types (e.g., T/F, MC, Multi-select, Fill in blank), but the process is easy once you've done it once. Here's help on this:
