Embed Questions in a Video

Once your video is available in MyVRSpot, you can begin creating your embedded questions through the SmartSpot feature.

• From your MyVRSpot homepage, click the SmartSpot menu item toward the top of the page, then Create Quiz. Note that even though MyVRSpot uses the term “quiz” to describe this feature, you may use it without engaging the assessment component of it. 
• Select the media that you would like to embed questions in, create a title, and write a description (optional). There are several additional options that are important to consider: can the students take the quiz multiple times, or just once? Can they view the correct answers after completing the quiz? And should they be able to resume a quiz if it was not completed? 
• Once you have established the parameters for the quiz, identify a start and end date for the quiz. Quizzes without a start and end date will begin immediately and will not expire. With these attributes now defined, select Create Quiz.
• To populate your quiz with questions, you can either add new questions or import existing ones. A question has four types that you can choose from: 
  • Fill in the blank: the response a student enters must be an exact text match to what you have identified as the correct answer, and the answers are case insensitive. You may need to provide multiple versions of the correct answer to account for the different ways that students might respond. There is no maximum to the number of correct answers, so include as many as you deem necessary. As an example, if a question asks who the 16th President of the United States is, you would want to provide both Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln as a correct answer. Since the answers are case insensitive LINCOLN or lincoln would count as being correct. Results are automatically graded. 
  • Multiple choice: with this type, you will need to include at least two possible answer choices and only one answer can be correct. For more choices, merely select Add Answer. Five answer choices is the maximum. Results are automatically graded.
  • True/False: provide the statement and then define whether that statement is true or false. Results are automatically graded.
  • Open answer: for this type, results are not automatically graded. You may view students’ responses to your question from the Quiz Report. 
• For both new and existing questions, it is important to identify when the questions appear in the video’s progression: at a particular point, or after it has ended. To display the question at a particular spot, identify the point (in seconds) when the video will stop and the question will appear. You can also drag the playhead of the video to that point and select Use Current Playhead Time. Once you have completed these steps, add the question to the quiz (for a new question, click the button that reads Save Questions and Add to Quiz, and for an existing question, select the button Add Question).

When you finish adding questions, click Publish Quiz in the upper-right-hand corner to activate the embedded questions.
