Video Quiz
Where can I access Video Quiz?
Once you start a trial or subscribe to Video Quiz on the Subscription page, Video Quiz can be accessed as a test option by going to Tests on the left hand navigation and selecting the “New Test” button at the top of the page.
What types of reports can I generate with Video Quiz?
Teachers will be able to view all the same reports they’re familiar with in Edulastic, including the Live Class Board to see responses in real time. Results from Video Quizzes can be viewed alongside traditional assessments within the Insights tab.
Can I share Video Quizzes with other teachers?
If two teachers both have the Video Quiz add-on or their district has Video Quiz, they can share, clone, and administer quizzes between them, similar to other assessments in Edulastic.
For instances where one teacher has the add-on and another doesn’t, the teacher without Video Quiz cannot see or assign a Video Quiz that was shared from a teacher that does have the add-on.
If two teachers are in a classroom — for example, the primary teacher and a co-teacher — and only one of the teachers has Video Quiz, only that teacher can assign the Video Quiz. But, because both teachers are rostered to the same students, they will both be able to see student responses in their Insights tab, even the teacher who doesn’t have Video Quiz.
Can VideoQuiz be used for instruction?
Yes! One of the most common use cases for VideoQuiz is supporting in-class instruction. Videos can be assigned during class or broadcasted to students using the Review tab, with ads and recommended next videos removed.
Teachers can create an essay question that prompts students to write in their notebooks or as a discussion topic. Teachers can also use drawing tools (lines, numbers, equations, etc.) to indicate aspects of the frame if needed. Lastly, you will still have access to the Live Class Board to see real-time answers to questions to inform instruction.
Can I assign Video Quiz for homework?
Yes. Many teachers are using Video Quiz as a way to have engaging homework or additional practice outside of the classroom. Current events like speeches and debates, or long-form performances or interviews, are great examples of the types of media that can be easily converted into video-based assignments for students.
How much does Video Quiz cost?
We’re rolling out Video Quiz and AI capabilities as a new product for the 2023 school year at an introductory rate of $60/license if purchased on a per-license basis. For schools or districts that would like Video Quiz and AI capabilities enabled, we can generate a quote based on the enrollment of the school or district.
Does Video Quiz have a content library?
Subscribed teachers can access a Video Quiz Showcase library, which highlights the various annotation tools and question formats available for teachers using a variety of educational science videos. The examples in the showcase library can give you inspiration on how the different annotation tools can be used to support learning with engaging video-based assignments.
AI in Edulastic
How does the AI work?
Using AI in Edulastic can be distilled down to a few simple steps: Start by providing the input, whether explaining the types of questions you’d like to create or the rubric you’d like to use for grading within Edulastic. Edulastic then combines your input with our uniquely developed academic content and student-centered guardrails to make an anonymized “call” to a trained AI model. The model returns the results within Edulastic based on your input and the context Edulastic provides.
Can I edit the responses?
Absolutely. For any question created in Edulastic, there is a two-step process of drafting, then publishing. Think of question generation as the first draft: You can always edit the question, answers, and answer order before using it in an assignment.
Can I share AI-generated questions with others?
All questions and quizzes generated with AI can be shared with others — even if they don’t have the AI add-on. Generated items can also be added to a district library for others to use.
Can the AI grade open-ended questions?
Yes, AI can grade essay questions if enabled ahead of time.
First, you must have a unit test or assignment with essay questions scored by a rubric. When assigning, toggle “Enable auto evaluation by AI” under Student Tools in your Test Settings. Once the student submits the test or assignment, a score and student response will be generated using the rubric you selected
