When you open the assignment, you will see the overall student progress. This section displays the overall grade, the percentage finished for reading the instructions and the video step. This provides an overview of the learning activity's progress.

To edit the video or download it/navigate to the original source online, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen.

Note: The downloaded video will not include the questions and/or comments added.

It is also possible to export all the student data into an Excel file. This file contains information concerning student uploads, review ratings, review comments and grading. You can download this export by clicking on the red Export Analytics button in the overall student progress window.

Here, you can write the instructions you want to provide to your students. If you'd like to include an audio, video, screen recording, or attach a file, simply click the add items icon to do so.

Collaboration Options

Directly underneath the instructions, you can select options for student collaboration.

When selecting student collaboration options, there are two configurations to choose from. Please bear in mind that collaboration options need to be selected before students participate in the assignment - once a student makes progress, the configurations can't be updated.

Collaboration Options

Student contribute:

After saving the instructions in the setup, you'll be able to view how they appear to students in the active assignment.

In step 2, you can upload or paste the link to the video your students would like to interact with.

Note: You must post the video URL or upload the video first; otherwise, the save button for the assignment will not appear.

After you upload or paste the video link, it will appear like this. If you want to change the video, simply click on Change file in the top right corner.

Scheduling deadlines: Set the start and end times for student access, even during class. Once the deadline passes, students will be locked out from viewing the file or answering questions. If no deadline is set at this point, students can access the video section at their convenience.

To close the task, you can choose to do so manually, on a specific date, or leave it open indefinitely. If you set a date, you also have the option to grant students an extension for answering the question cards after the deadline has passed. By selecting this option (as shown in the screenshot below), you can choose which students will regain access to the video, complete the remaining question cards, and be assigned a new deadline that you set.

Student Contribution: Here, you can adjust how students contribute. You can enable options for students to create discussion threads or their own question cards. If you turn this on, you'll then have the option to decide whether students can see each other's answers on question cards created by their peers.

Anonymity: The discussion threads and replies on the video are anonymous, but teachers can always identify the students.

Copyright protection: Whether students are permitted to view the original link if you use a link for the video.

Subtitles: Whether you want to enable subtitles for the students. If the video doesn’t have subtitles, you can upload your own subtitle files (.srt/.vtt) by clicking the configure button.

By default, the participants' overview is displayed. Here, you can view each student's progress, including who has watched the video, the percentage of question cards completed, their answering scores, and their total number of comments.

In the Questions section, you can view the questions you’ve added for students to engage with and answer. You can also monitor the skip rate for each question and review their responses. If you enable student contributions in the settings and toggle this option open, you'll be able to see the number of question cards and discussion threads created by students.

Click on Open Video to set up the discussion thread that you want the students to participate in.

When you first open the video, this is how it will appear. The discussion thread and any distributions you've added will be visible in the Comment bar on the right. If you'd like to hide this and enlarge the video, simply click the red circle located in the middle-right section of the video.

To annotate, click on the dot on/above the timeline in the video. You will then be given two options, create a question card or a discussion thread.

For more information on adding question cards and/or discussion thread, click here.

For multiple choice questions, you will see the distribution of answers. The tick mark next to an answer means that you indicated that this answer option is correct.

For open questions, you’ll find a list of all the students' responses displayed beneath the correct answer. You’ll also see an indication of whether each student's response was marked as correct, almost correct, or incorrect.

Note: If you enable anonymity in the settings, students will only see a list of answers under random pseudonyms. However, you will still be able to view the students' names alongside their responses. Additionally, you have the option to display the students' pseudonyms by toggling the feature located between the correct answer and the student's response.

Click the ← button in the top right corner of the screen to return to an overview of all the question cards, discussion threads, and comments added to the video. You can sort this list by newest to oldest creation, location, most to least upvotes, or most to least comments. This allows you to prioritize comments that are relevant for your next offline interaction.

For instance, focusing on the comments that have received the most upvotes would be particularly important, as these likely represent areas where students are seeking clarification or further discussion.

You can also filter contributions based on those created by teachers or those made by peers (students).

When you open a comment, you'll see the comment along with all its replies. As a teacher, you can upvote comments and add your own response to the discussion by typing in the text field below the comment. If you encounter an inappropriate comment from a student, you can delete it by clicking on the three dots next to the student's name and selecting delete.

After finishing setting up the core of the assignment, it is possible to add the configurable grading module. Click here to learn more about how this grading module works.

You also have the option to publish the grade as a percentage or as pass/fail.

In this step, you have to access a comprehensive overview detailing the grades of each student within the system.

By default, the grading module is enabled, it will be visible after the last step. The image below shows what that will look like. By clicking on the arrow on the right or using the scroll bar at the bottom, the teacher can view the rest of the grade sections (from left to right). On the far right there is also an optional grade adjustment . This allows the teacher to add or subtract points for each student. Click on Fullscreen to get a better view.
