STEPS TO Edpuzzle: Step 4: Adding questions to a video

 How do I add questions to my video?

If you'd like to embed a question in your video, select the video you want to use and click “Edit” to open the video editor.

1. Click on the "Questions" tab above the video.
2. In the timeline below the video, click on the spot where you’d like to add a question or note.
3. Select “Multiple-choice question”, “Open-ended question” or “Note” from the options on the right.
4. Add your question or note, and click the blue “Save” button.
5. To add another question or note to the same point in the video, click on the “+” icon for the question type or note of your choice below the text “Add another note or question here”.

After you've added your question(s), you can click the play button to confirm that they appear in the video at the right spot. If the timing is wrong, you can drag the question box along the timeline to the left or right until it's perfectly timed, or just click on the time box to the left of your question or note to enter the exact minute and second.

STEPS TO Edpuzzle: Step 3: How to cut a video

 How do I cut a video?

Found the perfect video but only need to use part of it? Then cut it with Edpuzzle! You can use the cut feature in the editing section to include only what you need.

To cut a video, follow these steps:

1. In the video editor, click on the "Cut" tab.
2. Below your video, you’ll see a blue bar. Drag the white vertical line at either side of the bar to crop from the beginning or the end of your video.
3. If you want to add another cut to your video (for example, if you want to cut a section from the middle), click the “Add cut” button. You can repeat this step as many times as you like!
4. When you’re finished, the sections you’ve cut will appear in gray and the remaining video will appear in blue in the bar.
5. To preview how your video will appear with the cuts, drag the black ball back to the beginning of your video.

STEPS TO Edpuzzle: Step 2 : Creating Video Lessons

 

What types of questions can I add?

1. Open-ended questions

This is perfect if you want your students to give a more thoughtful response. These are not automatically graded since each student's answer will differ.

2. Multiple-choice

Here you can select which answers are correct and incorrect. Test your student's understanding with all kinds of question formats, like true/false, single answer, multiple answers and more. These are graded automatically.

3. Notes

This is your tool for telling your students anything you need them to know about the video. Add context, give instructions or add an interesting fact!

How do I turn on closed-captioning or subtitles for my video lesson?

Closed-captioning is available for any video that has been originally captioned by the service the video has been pulled from.

Enabling closed-captioning

When you assign your video lesson, you can select the option to "Turn on CCs" to enable closed-captioning.

When a student watches a video lesson which has closed-captioning, a “CC” button will appear. Click the button to enable/disable the subtitles.

Enabling subtitles in different languages

Some videos may be subtitled in different languages. To go through the options, click the “CC” button.

No captions available

If the video doesn't have any available subtitles, the "CC" button won't appear at the bottom of the video.

Setting closed-captioning as a default

If you always want closed-captioning to appear when available, just click on your profile icon in the upper-righthand corner, select your name from the dropdown menu, and click on the "Settings" tab. Under "Closed Captions," toggle the button so the green checkmark appears. That's it – your preferences will be saved automatically!
