In VIUTube, you can create interactive video quizzes which will allow your learners to test their understanding of concepts while they are watching a video.
Video quiz setup
There are seven different types of questions that you can add to a video quiz in VIUTube.
- Multiple choice: Users will be given a question and will be prompted to choose the correct answer from a list of available choices.
- Select multiple: Users will be given a question and will be prompted to choose all correct answers from a list of available choices.
- Short answer: Users will be asked to enter an answer into a text box. Instructors will be able to grade and provide feedback on student's responses after they have submitted the video quiz.
- True or false: Insert a question or prompt for your students to answer. Students will be asked to choose whether that question or prompt is true or false.
- Fill-in-the-blanks: Allows you to omit one or more words in a statement so users may select an answer to fill into the inserted blanks.
- Reflection pause: A Reflection Point allows you to insert a pause into the video in order to have students reflect on what was said. You can add text to help guide your student's reflection. With Reflection Point's, students are not prompted to insert or select an answer and can continue watching the video anytime they wish by clicking the Continue button.
- Decision point: Can be used to create Choose-Your-Own-Adventure quizzes. You can customize the linear progression of a video based on the response to a proposed Decision Point question. This enables an interactive user experience where video content can be sequenced in a non-linear fashion based on the Decision Point response selected.

Video quizzes in VIULearn
There are several options for how to add your video quiz to a course in VIULearn. The right choice for your course depends on what information you want to capture.
To see detailed quiz results for each student, add your quiz to Content using the VIUtube Media option under Add Existing. This will create a grade item in the VIULearn gradebook and automatically connect each attempt with the student who took the quiz.
If you don't want to have a grade item connected to the quiz, you can disconnect the quiz from the grade item in VIULearn. disconnecting that grade item will mean that scores are not sent to VIULearn, but you will still be able to see detailed quiz results in VIUTube.
If you don't want to capture detailed results from students, you can use the VIUTube embed code to embed the video in a content page. A VIULearn Grade Item will not be automatically created if using this method. This method is ideal if you would like to add a video quiz to your course for self-assessment purposes.
- From the course navigation bar, select Content.
- Navigate into the Module or Sub-Module you wish to add the video quiz into.
- Click the grey Existing Activities button and select Add VIUTube Media.
- Click the Quizzes tab.
- Click on the thumbnail of the video quiz you wish to add to the course Content. Then click Insert Content.
- Navigate to the Grades tool and Edit any Grade Items that were created so that they have the appropriate Points and Weight value associated with them. To avoid any calculation errors, you will want to make sure you do this before students have begun submitting to the video quiz.
If you are not using the VIULearn Grades tool, or do not wish to add a video quiz to your gradebook, but would still like to be able to track individual student's responses to a video quiz, you can disconnect the video quiz from the automatically created Grade Item and then delete the Grade Item from the course.
