Interactive video for education

Lessons that ask for answers.

Put questions, drawing prompts, and review paths inside the lesson, then see participation and assessment results for every student.

Works with the lectures you have recorded. Students need no account.

The participation gap

A watched lecture is not a learned one

Asynchronous video carries most of the course now, and it is the part of the course with the least evidence attached.

Attention drifts with nothing to do

A student watching alone has no reason to stop and think until the assessment arrives days later.

The class arrives unprepared

Assigned video comes back as a completion tick, so nobody knows which concept to reteach.

Results come after they are useful

Grades reveal the confusion once the unit is finished and the chance to intervene has gone.

What changes

The lesson starts asking the questions

Three things a recorded lesson does once the interactions sit on the timeline.

Recall

Active recall inside the lesson

Ask the student to retrieve the idea at the point it is taught, which is where the retrieval actually helps.

  • Place questions, polls, and required responses at exact timecodes
  • Let students draw on diagrams, maps, and worked examples in the frame
  • Accept typed, spoken, and multiple-choice answers in the same lesson

Pacing

Self-paced paths that adapt

Send a student who missed the idea back to the explanation, and a student who has it straight to the next one.

  • Branch to a review clip when an answer shows the concept did not land
  • Offer enrichment routes without holding the rest of the class
  • Let students rewatch a segment as many times as they need

Visibility

Engagement seen per student

Read the class as individuals before the lesson meets them, rather than as an average afterwards.

  • See who answered what, who stopped, and who went back
  • Spot the concept the whole cohort missed before the next session
  • Send scores to Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard rather than transcribing them

What gets measured

The three numbers a course team asks for

Participation, per student
Counted from answers given inside the lesson, not from a completion tick on the assignment.
Assessment completion
Recorded where the question was asked, so the score belongs to the concept it tested.
Rewatch, per segment
Attributed to the timecode students returned to, which is the part of the lecture to reteach.

Example lesson

A comprehension check placed on the concept

The question is set at the timecode the idea is introduced, the answer is scored immediately, and a wrong answer routes the student back to the explanation.

Education FAQ

What course teams ask first

The objections that come up in every evaluation, answered plainly.

Does it connect to our LMS?

Yes. Completion and scores pass to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and other systems over SCORM and xAPI, so the gradebook stays the source of record.

Do students need an account?

No. Students open a link or an embed. You can still identify the response if the course requires it.

Can we use the lectures we have already recorded?

Yes. Interactions are layered on the existing recording, including video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or your institution’s own player.

How is student data handled?

Responses stay in your account, are exportable, and are only collected where you place an interaction that asks for them.

Is the player accessible?

Captions, keyboard operation, and screen reader labels are supported on the player and on every interaction placed on it.
