Kaltura - Adding Questions to Your Videos with Kaltura Video Quizzes [UW-Madison]

Kaltura MediaSpace's video quiz feature allows you to insert questions into your online videos.

Kaltura video quizzes can be used as self-checks for students to allow them to pause and answer a question to determine whether they listened and understood what they just watched. While Kaltura video quizzes can be used as Canvas assignments we do not currently recommend that due to issues outlined in Canvas - Adding a Kaltura Video Quiz As a Canvas Course Assignment [UW-Madison] . We recommend that you keep your video quizzes to a maximum of 4-6 minutes in length.

Note: Since Kaltura video quizzes don't work reliably for 100% of students we recommend you use video quizzes for student self-testing and preparation with no associated points or grade, and Canvas quizzes for anything with points or a grade.

    Generally we do not recommend instructors disable the ability for students to seek forward as it reduces student control and can make troubleshooting video quizzes more difficult.

Adding questions to your video quiz

  1. To add a question to your video you can play the video and pause where you would like to place a question, or grab the time tag and drag it to the appropriate place in the video:
    A screenshot showing the Kaltura IVQ timeline. The time tag is outlined in red.
  2. Once you are at the appropriate point in the video, click the blue Add a Question button. You can choose from:

    1. Multiple Choice: Questions with only one correct answer. Questions have a 180 character limit for questions and 140 character limit for answers. 
    2. True / False: Question with the choice of True or False. Questions have 450 character limit.
    3. Reflection Point: This is a question with no answer. The video will pause and allow you to point out specific items in the video to guide your viewer's attention. This is a non-graded question and will not be part of the quiz score. Questions have 500 character limit.
    4. Open Question: The student can type in a free text answer. This is a non-graded question and will not be part of the quiz score. Questions have a 200 character limit. Answers have a 270 character limit.
  3. The question editing screen will display for your question and will vary based on question type. For more detail please see Kaltura's documentation Kaltura Video Tools - Create a video quiz. For multiple choice questions you have options to:
    1. Click the shuffle button to shuffle the answers
    2. Click the light bulb button allows you to add text hints to the question as well as explanations.
    3. Add question text. 
      Note: This is listed above but it's worth restating that you are limited to 180 characters for questions and 140 characters for answers for multiple-choice questions. True-False questions have a 450 character limit. Reflection Point questions have a 500 character limit. Open questions have a 200 character limit for questions and 270 character limit for answers.

      It's also important to note that you can't assign different point values to each question. If you decide to use the video quiz as a Canvas assignment (outlined in Canvas - Adding a Kaltura Video Quiz As a Canvas Course Assignment [UW-Madison] ), the point value will be divided up to each video question based on the total points you give the assignment in Canvas.

Integrating video quizzes with Canvas

Instructors have a few options to integrate Kaltura video quizzes with Canvas:

  1. Kaltura video quizzes can be embedded in a page or other Canvas area wherever the Canvas rich content editor exists. Embedding video quizzes this way will not send a grade for the student to the Canvas gradebook but can still be useful in helping students self-assess and determine whether they understand what they are watching. We recommend that you only use multiple choice, true-false, and reflection point questions for self assessment quizzes. Students can then be more formally assessed on the content via other assignments, Canvas quizzes, exams, etc. More information on embedding an video quiz is available in Canvas - Upload and Embed a New Kaltura Mediaspace Video in a Canvas Page [UW-Madison] . this will still collect individual analytics on student answers and viewing.
  2. Kaltura video quizzes can also be embedded by using embed code. How to find a media entry's embed code is described in Kaltura - How to Get a Link or Embed Code to a Video in MediaSpace [UW-Madison] . This will not collect individual student analytics.
  3. Kaltura video quizzes can be setup as a Canvas assignment. When setup this way video quiz grades are sent to the Canvas gradebook. See Canvas - Adding a Kaltura Video Quiz As a Canvas Course Assignment [UW-Madison]  for information on setting up video quizzes as a Canvas assignment. Unfortunately due to Kaltura video quizzes not working reliably for 100% of students we do not currently recommend they be used  as assignments. We are providing the information for those who want to see how it works.
