Introduction

An interactive video quiz is a video that includes quiz questions. You can use audio-only, video, and presentation recordings in My Media as the basis for a video quiz (not just videos). Learners watch the video and questions appear at chosen points. The video continues after the learner has answered each question. Flexible settings allow instructors to choose whether learners can repeat sections, skip questions, revise answers, get hints, and discover the correct answers. Interactive video quizzes increase learner engagement, provide formative assessment, and improve learning outcomes.

You can create an interactive video quiz directly from your My Media page. Once you have made your video quiz, you can embed it anywhere the Moodle text editor is available.
