Now that you've started to build an advanced assessment, you may want to add a question in which your students can record a video as their answer (or part of their answer).
 |
In the Video Recorder question, the student is able to use their device's camera to record a video as an answer to a question. Students will be able to playback their recording as well.
Example:
❓ Are there browsers or devices that do not support this question type?
This question type is not supported in the Safari web browser or Otus iPad app.
If students are using iPads, this question IS supported by using Otus through the Chrome web browser.
Build the Question
If you are creating a new item, select the + Create button on the assessment builder, title the item, then select the Add New plus sign to add a question.
If you are adding to an existing item, simply select the Add New plus sign (as shown above) to add a question to the item.
Next, select the Written and Recorded category from the options on the left, then select Video Recorder.
Compose Question
Compose Question: type the content of the question into this section.
Set the Maximum Length and Overwrite Settings
Maximum length (seconds): refers to the maximum length the video can be - when the student reaches this limit, the video will stop recording automatically. This value is set to 600 seconds by default (which is the maximum allowed).
Overwrite warning: enabled by default, this will warn the student when they are about to overwrite their previous video recording with a new one.
Set the Scoring
Expand the More options section.
Set the point value by entering a number into the Max score field. The default is set to 1 point.
If you'd like students to earn points for just attempting the question, enter a number into the Minimum score if attempted field.
This question must be manually scored.
Student Preview
It's highly recommended to Preview the question before adding it to the assessment. This displays the question as the students will see it, and it also allows you to experiment with the recording features. This question is not auto-scored, therefore, you are previewing the formatting in this case, rather than the scoring.
