You may have noticed an announcement when you logged into Canvas last month that announced that IU has a license for PlayPosit. But what is it?
It is a platform that allows you to add interactive elements such as questions and discussions into YouTube, Vimeo, and videos you create, as well as audio files. You can also watch real-time data and analytics to see where students are confused, and which topics need to be expounded upon. PlayPosit can also be linked to Kaltura and be used both inside and outside of Canvas.
Here is an example PlayPosit Video (which PlayPosit refers to as a bulb) on Photosynthesis: Sample Bulb
Other ways PlayPosit can be used:
- Repurpose Video Lectures: convert lecture recordings into review or prework for courses
- Better Practice: leverage interactive video to provide a better practice experience for students (Homework Sets)
- Decision Tree: add hot spots for branched learning/decision trees (good for simulation or choice tree experiences)
- Playlists: build video and resources into a playlist that can be locked in progression, have threshold scores, certificates as well as gradebook pass back into Canvas
- Broadcast: use PlayPosit for online synchronous classroom engagement (audience response system)
- Peer Review: learn how to assign video submissions to a group of learners for a feedback process.
If you would like for us to request an interactive vendor demo for Luddy, please let me know a few days and times that generally work for you: https://www.when2meet.com/?14514636-ezgvK by Monday, February 14th, 2022.
