Interactive Formative Assessment
Teachers have been using film and video in their classrooms for decades to engage students. Videos themselves are not usually interactive but the new tools that have emerged in the past decade allow teachers to easily embed custom questions into videos making them interactive.
When reviewing the different tools they must support formative instructional strategies. Students should be able to receive feedback while watching and answering questions in the video. Both the teachers and students should be able to take an active role in using them but the teacher will need to be a facilitator or creator in the beginning.
Students love video and more and more learn via video with tools like YouTube, Khan Academy, and Vimeo. Between them, there are millions of videos available. As a teacher, you can use these videos to make them interactive and provide thoughtful questions and feedback as the students watch them.
Developed recently are tools to help teachers add interactivity that are FREE and/or have a premium version for more features. Go through each of the tools and decide which ones you can use with your students.
1. Choose one of the tools below and create an account.
2. Add a video and the interactivity that is built into the application.
3. Share the assessment with your instructor
4. If possible use the assessment with students.
5. How did your students react?
Edpuzzle is an interactive video lesson website.
- The teacher creates a free account. They assign their students to their Edpuzzle classroom with a code, link or through Google Classroom.
- Read the instructions for Edpuzzle at their Help Center. These are a must before you begin using the website with your students.
- The teacher selects a video from the available collection or uploads their own to the site. (YouTube, Khan Academy, and National Geographic)
- The teacher adds multiple-choice or open-ended quiz questions throughout the video.
- The teacher can also add comments about content, give instructions or add an interesting fact.
- There are instructions for whitelisting Edpuzzle so that students are able to get to YouTube content only through EdPuzzle.
Playposit is also an interactive video lesson website but is slightly different than Edpuzzle. The premise of Edpuzzle is to use video and add comments and quiz questions and is very basic. Playposit goes the next step and allows the teacher to take videos from a number of sources and edit them in Playposit.
- The teacher creates a free or premium account.
- The free accounts are limited to 100 learner attempts/month (attempts reset on the first of each month), no direct video upload, as well as have limited access to PlayPosit’s broader feature offerings.
- Instructions for Playposit can be found in their support section.
- The teacher has to make a choice to have the students use an email/password, a Single Sign-on Service, or directly within the school Learning Management System (e.g., Schoology, Blackboard, PowerSchool)
- The teacher uploads a video and edits it if needed or streams a video in Playposit.
- Free accounts can only use YouTube or Vimeo videos within bulbs and are not able to upload any videos.
- Interactivity is added to the video and it is called a BULB.
- Teachers can add Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank, Check All Apply, and a Discussion Forum.
- Teachers can add a Polling Survey, Reflective Pause, and Website embed.
- The BULBS can be monitored for student responses.
Engaging in self-assessment helps students develop self-reflective abilities. There are FREE assessment tools for teachers to use with students that provide instant feedback that also can be constructive in nature. These technology-enhanced assessments also show the teacher who is on track and who needs help so action can be taken to further growth.

Flipgrid is very different compared to the other tools you have been introduced to in this section.
It is a video discussion platform from Microsoft that helps educators see and hear from every student in the class and foster a fun and supportive social learning environment. In Flipgrid, educators post discussion prompts and students respond with short videos.
The teacher signs up for a FREE account at Flipgrid. After logging in, you will create a Grid for your class. Within your Grid you will post discussion prompts for your students, called Topics, which serve as the stimulus for your students’ video Responses. Use these instructions to get started.
Your students will love this tool because they can easily learn from each other and give feedback to each other on their projects in this classroom.
If you have already been using Flipgrid, Richard Byrne created a short video highlighting the changes for the 2019/20 school year.
Create Your Own Interactive Video
In this course, we have highlighted resources that have videos to choose from and you have the ability to edit them for your own use and add questions, answers, and feedback.
Below are resources to explore if you would like to create your own video and add interactivity.
1. Camtasia Studio - Create your own educational video and add quiz questions. This is a very robust program from TechSmith. You do have to purchase the program.
2. PowerPoint/Office 365 - You can create a video after you have put the slides together. Use these instructions.
3. Interactive Whiteboards - Many interactive whiteboards have software that allows you to play a video and add interactivity. You can save the video with the interactivity and the students can use it for remediation or if they have missed class.
You have learned about a variety of video and assessment tools to take your classroom to the next level so that students are learning by themselves or with another.
There are also course management systems that help facilitate formative assessment. Students can complete teacher-created quizzes and submit work to receive constructive feedback as they are learning.

Mazoezi ya Interactive Formative Assessment (IFA) ni njia ya mafunzo ya ufundi ambayo wanafunzi wanaweza kuitumia katika masomo yao ya shule na shule za msingi. Video zenyewe hazifanyi kazi kwa njia ya kuingiliana, lakini zana mpya ambazo zimetokea katika muongo uliopita zinawawezesha walimu kuingiza maswali ya kawaida kwenye video na kuzifanya ziwe na uwezo wa kuingiliana. Wakati wa kukagua zana tofauti lazima kuunga mkono mikakati ya mafunzo ya malezi. Wanafunzi wanapaswa kuwa na uwezo wa kupokea maoni wakati wa kutazama na kujibu maswali katika video. Walimu na wanafunzi wanapaswa kuwa na uwezo wa kuchukua jukumu la kazi katika kutumia, lakini mwalimu lazima kuwa msaidizi au muundaji mwanzoni. Wanafunzi wanapenda video na zaidi na zaidi kujifunza kupitia video na zana kama YouTube, Khan Academy, na Vimeo. Kati yao, kuna mamilioni ya video zinazopatikana. Kama mwalimu, unaweza kutumia video hizi kuwafanya wawe na mwingiliano na kutoa maswali ya kufikiria na maoni wakati wanafunzi wanaziangalia. Vifaa vilivyobuniwa hivi karibuni ni kusaidia walimu kuongeza mwingiliano ambao ni Bure na au kuwa na toleo la malipo kwa vipengele zaidi. Chunguza kila moja ya vifaa hivyo na uamue ni ipi utakayotumia kwa wanafunzi wako. 1. Uwe na mtazamo wa kweli Chagua moja ya zana hapa chini na kuunda akaunti. 2. Uwezekano wa kupata Kuongeza video na mwingiliano kwamba ni kujengwa katika maombi. 3. Uwe na mtazamo wa kweli Pata maelezo zaidi kuhusu mafunzo yako na mwalimu wako. Ikiwa inawezekana tumia tathmini hiyo pamoja na wanafunzi. 5. Uwe na mtazamo mzuri. Wanafunzi wako waliitikiaje? Edpuzzle ni tovuti ya mafunzo ya video ya maingiliano. - Mwalimu huunda akaunti ya bure. Wanawapa wanafunzi wao darasa la Edpuzzle kwa nambari, kiungo au kupitia Google Classroom. - Soma maelekezo kwa Edpuzzle katika Kituo cha Msaada wao. Hizi ni lazima kabla ya kuanza kutumia tovuti na wanafunzi wako. - Mwalimu huchagua video kutoka mkusanyiko unaopatikana au hupakia yao wenyewe kwenye tovuti. (YouTube, Khan Academy, na National Geographic) - Mwalimu anaongeza maswali ya mtihani ya chaguo nyingi au ya wazi katika video nzima. - Mwalimu pia anaweza kuongeza maoni kuhusu maudhui, kutoa maelekezo au kuongeza ukweli wa kuvutia. - Kuna maelekezo kwa whitelisting Edpuzzle hivyo wanafunzi ni uwezo wa kupata maudhui ya YouTube tu kupitia EdPuzzle. Playposit pia ni tovuti ya mafunzo ya video ya maingiliano lakini ni tofauti kidogo na Edpuzzle. Edpuzzle ni mchezo wa kuvutia wa kuvutia ambao unatoa maoni ya video na maswali ya maswali ya maswali. Playposit inaendelea hatua inayofuata na inaruhusu mwalimu kuchukua video kutoka vyanzo kadhaa na kuhariri katika Playposit. - Mwalimu huunda akaunti ya bure au premium. Akaunti za bure ni mdogo kwa majaribio ya wanafunzi 100 kwa mwezi (majaribio ya kuweka upya siku ya kwanza ya kila mwezi), hakuna upakiaji wa moja kwa moja wa video, na pia kuwa na ufikiaji mdogo wa PlayPosit's huduma pana. - Maagizo kwa Playposit inaweza kupatikana katika sehemu yao ya msaada. Mwalimu lazima kuchagua kuwa na wanafunzi kutumia barua pepe au nywila, Single Sign-On Service, au moja kwa moja ndani ya shule Learning Management System (kwa mfano, Schoology, Blackboard, PowerSchool) - Mwalimu uploads video na hurekebisha kama inahitajika au streams video katika Playposit. Akaunti za bure zinaweza tu kutumia video za YouTube au Vimeo ndani ya balbu na haziwezi kupakia video yoyote. "Kama vile video ya ""Bubble"" inaonyesha, inaonekana kama ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble"" na ""Bubble"" ni ""Bubble.""" - Walimu wanaweza kuongeza Multiple Choice, Jaza katika Blank, Check All Apply, na Mkutano wa Majadiliano. - Walimu wanaweza kuongeza Uchunguzi wa Uchaguzi, Kipindi cha Kufikiria, na Webusaiti ya kuingiza. - BULBS inaweza kufuatiliwa kwa majibu ya wanafunzi. Kujihesabu huwasaidia wanafunzi wasitawishe uwezo wa kujitafakari. Kuna zana za tathmini za bure kwa walimu kutumia na wanafunzi ambao hutoa maoni ya papo hapo ambayo pia inaweza kuwa ya kujenga katika asili. Tathmini hizi za teknolojia pia zinaonyesha mwalimu ambaye yuko kwenye njia na ambaye anahitaji msaada ili hatua ziweze kuchukuliwa kwa ukuaji zaidi. <p>Mwanafunzi hujiandikisha kwa kutumia nambari inayotokezwa baada ya mwalimu kuunda akaunti. <p>Mwanafunzi hujiandikisha kwa kutumia nambari inayotokezwa baada ya mwalimu kuunda akaunti. Wanafunzi wenye umri wa miaka 13 na zaidi wanaweza kuunda akaunti zao za GoFormative na kujiunga na darasa la mwalimu na nambari. Google Classroom na Clever Integration: Kuna maswali zaidi ya 80,000 yaliyowekwa tayari katika benki ya vitu katika Edulast, au walimu wanaweza kuongeza maswali yao wenyewe. Kuna maktaba ya umma ndani ya Go Formative na maelfu ya tathmini zilizotengenezwa mapema au walimu wanaweza kuunda yao wenyewe. Hizo zilizotengenezwa kimbele zaweza kurekebishwa ili zikubaliane na mahitaji ya mwalimu. Video, sauti, picha, viungo vya mtandao, wahusika wasio wa Kiingereza, au alama za hesabu za juu zinaweza kuingizwa katika aina yoyote ya swali. Wanafunzi wanaweza kupakia faili yoyote ya PDF, Google Doc, na kuongeza nafasi kwa wanafunzi kujibu na kuhariri maelezo yoyote ya swali. Kuna kujengwa katika authoring chombo cha kuunda drag-na-drop, multipart, vifungu, graphing na zaidi. Walimu wanaweza kutoa maoni na kwa urahisi alama au auto-grade kazi ya mwanafunzi. Toleo la bure litakuwa na kiwango cha kiotomatiki cha tathmini na kumpa mwanafunzi na mwalimu data na ripoti za papo hapo. Kuna ripoti za kufuatilia ukuaji wa wanafunzi. Flipgrid ni tofauti sana ikilinganishwa na zana nyingine umekuwa kuletwa katika sehemu hii. Ni jukwaa la majadiliano ya video kutoka Microsoft ambayo husaidia walimu kuona na kusikia kutoka kwa kila mwanafunzi katika darasa na kukuza mazingira ya kujifunza ya kijamii ya kufurahisha na ya kuunga mkono. Katika Flipgrid, walimu kuchapisha majadiliano na wanafunzi kujibu na video fupi. Mwalimu anasaini kwa ajili ya akaunti ya bure katika Flipgrid. Baada ya kuingia, utaunda Grid kwa ajili ya darasa lako. Katika Grid yako utachapisha viashiria vya majadiliano kwa wanafunzi wako, vinavyoitwa Mada, ambazo hutumika kama kichocheo kwa Majibu ya video ya wanafunzi wako. Tumia maagizo haya ili uanze. Wanafunzi wako watapenda chombo hiki kwa sababu wanaweza kujifunza kwa urahisi kutoka kwa kila mmoja na kutoa maoni kwa kila mmoja juu ya miradi yao katika darasa hili. Ikiwa tayari unatumia Flipgrid, Richard Byrne aliunda video fupi inayoangazia mabadiliko kwa mwaka wa shule wa 2019-20. Kuunda Video yako ya Maingiliano Katika kozi hii, tumeangazia rasilimali ambazo zina video za kuchagua na una uwezo wa kuhariri kwa matumizi yako mwenyewe na kuongeza maswali, majibu, na maoni. Chini ni rasilimali ya kuchunguza kama ungependa kuunda video yako mwenyewe na kuongeza mwingiliano. 1.
