Agenda: The need for interactive video assessment tools Capabilities of Edpuzzle and Zaption Explanation of both tools Try it out! Questions? November 5,

The need for interactive video assessment tools ESL students in Listening classes: There is not enough listening practice to improve listening skills Traditional note-taking on paper and answering open-ended questions can be boring Answering open-ended questions can be very ambiguous T eachers in Listening classes: Grading paper-based listening tests is very time-consuming The work can become monotonous and students lose motivation When a video is assigned as homework, there is no way to check if the student finished watching the video What are some ways to highlight important information in a video ? How can I identify patterns of mistakes my students make? How can I meet the needs of digital natives? November 5,

Downsides: Creating video lessons can be time consuming The free membership doesn’t provide as many options as the paid one The site does not link to some LMSs Watching videos is primarily passive learning activity 23

What are the best practices for EdPuzzle and Zaption? Flipped classroom sessions: students can watch an assigned video before class time, and instructors can focus time in the face-to-face session based on the data seen in the analytics. Face-to-face classes: modify the typical top-down lecture: assign learning labs within the classroom where students work independently reviewing video material and answering questions in the assessments. assign it as homework used as formative assessment to guide the scope and sequence of material covered in class. 24

What are the best practices for EdPuzzle and Zaption? Online courses improve the use of video as a way to convey course content. By instructors adding questions to the videos, students become more engaged in the learning process and the learning becomes more active. Instructors should use the analytic data to achieve deeper learning (analyze the questions that were problematic) Skillfully crafted questions and interactions can allow for timely formative assessment 25

Try and play with both of them!! The more you use a tool the more you are able to see which one best fits your learners’ needs. Please, feel free to us at and if you have any November 5,
