How do I let learners create their own interactive videos?

What is a Learner Made Interactive Video?

Learner Made Interactive Videos are a great way to empower learners to become instructors. Learners have access to the full power of the interactive video Designer, including choosing their own videos and embedding all question types to their interactive videos. Instructors can use this feature to:

  • Review projects where learners create their own questions on video already seen.
  • Have learners create their own videos and add interactions to increase engagement.
  • Record a learner's presentation and have them reflect on their performance with comments.
