Module 12 – Interactive Video Tools.
Assessing with YouTube through HapYak
This week I learned about a lot of different programs that are out there that will allow you to input quizzes, notes, guiding questions, etc.. on a YouTube video. After researching different programs, and creating a playlist of these programs, I decided to make an assessment through the program HapYak. https://corp.hapyak.com/ allows you to take a video from an outside video sharer, and add quiz questions, comments, notes, images, drawings etc... in to any part of the video you want.
The assessment I made is on a video from YouTube, that I show to my first graders before starting a unit on Geometry. Now that I have discovered HapYak, I was able to insert multiple choice quiz questions, as well as guided questions to make the video more interactive and engaging for my students.
Pros
1. It allows you to make videos more engaging for students.
2.It allows you to input several different kinds of assessment resources, you are not just limited to multiple choice questions.
3. It is easy to share the finished product.
Cons
1. This program has a free trial but is very expensive once you have exhausted that.
2. It took a lot of editing to get my questions to begin and end in the correct places.
3. Although to add the assessments to the video was easy, the settings were a bit confusing on how to make it work with the video, the way I wanted it to. So the questions weren't as dark as I wanted them, and it was difficult to figure out how to not post the answer to a multiple choice questions at first.
