How can I generate interactions with AI in Interactivity?

Instructors can utilize the AI tool in WeVideo Interactivity to auto-generate interactions based on the content of the videos in the interactive video. Teachers can control when to add the interactions and adjust their complexity based on Bloom’s taxonomy. The generated questions can also be edited afterward to best meet the instructional needs.

Add AI-generated interactions to the interactive video

The AI interactions generator is available for interactive videos built with WeVideo Exports, Boclips, YouTube videos, and external video hosts. The imported videos need to meet the following requirements to use the AI interactions generator.

• Boclips Videos: All Boclips videos are compatible with the AI interaction generator. Please follow the steps in this article after importing the Boclips video to generate interactions.
• WeVideo Exports: The exports must have subtitles attached to them for the AI interaction generator to function. Please follow the steps in this article to generate subtitles for the exports before importing them into the interactive video editor. After the subtitles have been added to the exports, you can follow the steps in this article to generate interactions for the interactive video.
• YouTube Videos: YouTube transcripts need to be manually pasted into the AI interaction generator for it to function. Please follow the steps in this article to access and copy the transcripts from the video and paste them into the AI interaction generator. After the transcript is added to the generator, you can follow the steps in this article to generate interactions for the interactive video.
• External Video Hosts:

  • Canvas Studio and Kaltura: Please ensure the videos hosted on these platforms include captions. When videos are imported into Interactivity, their captions are streamed to the interactive video and are ready for the AI interaction generator to generate interactions based on them. If multiple captions are available for the videos, instructors can select which captions to use for interaction generation in the AI interaction generator.

    

  • Other external video hosts: To use the AI interaction generator with videos from these hosts, instructors need to manually upload captions to the video in Interactivity so the AI can generate interactions based on those captions. Please see this article for instructions on uploading captions for imported videos.

After importing the videos to the interactive video editor, switch to the Interactions tab, and click the Generate Interactions button.

Instructors can adjust the following settings for the generator before generating interactions:

• Time: Add the generated interactions to the selected timestamp or spread out in the entire video.
• Number of Questions: The number of questions that will be generated. If left blank, a random number of questions will be generated based on the length of the video.
• Complexity: Select the complexity levels for the generated interactions. There are six complexity levels based on Bloom's Taxonomy:
  • Remember: The question focuses on the learner’s ability to recall facts and basic concepts.
  • Understand: The question that requires learners to explain ideas or concepts.
  • Apply: The question that asks learners to use the information they learned in new situations.
  • Analyze: Learners need to draw connections among the ideas and information.
  • Evaluate: Learners will be asked to justify their stand or decision.
  • Create: Learners have to produce new or original works based on what they learned from the interactive video.
• Interaction Type: Select the interaction type for the generated interactions.
• Educator Context: Enter the additional prompts (teaching goals, student level, etc.) to guide the AI interaction generation.
• YouTube Transcript (only available if built with YouTube videos): If the interactive video is built with YouTube videos, this option will be available for users to paste the transcript into the generator. 

After adjusting the settings for the interaction generator, click Generate Interactions to start generating the questions.

The AI-generated questions have been added to the interactive video! They will be highlighted in purple to indicate that they are AI-generated. 

Enhance interactions with AI

After creating the questions, instructors can enhance and improve them with the AI tool. Click the Enhance with AI button and select one of the options from the drop-down menu. Please note that currently, the AI enhancement tool is only available to the question types compatible with the AI interaction generator, which are multiple choice, check all that apply, fill in the blank, and free response questions.

• Modify with a prompt: Enter the prompts to guide the AI in regenerating the question.
• Update Complexity: Regenerate the question with the selected complexity.
• Replace with a similar question: Regenerate the question with the same question type and complexity settings.
• Translate: Select a language from the list to translate the question and answer options into the selected language.

Edit AI-generated interactions in the interactive video

Click on the interaction you want to edit to enter the edit mode and adjust the context in the question or the answer options.

Teachers can use the Complexity drop-down menu to choose a different complexity level or click the refresh button to regenerate a new question.

Teachers can also change the interaction type with the interaction type drop-down menu. You may also need to adjust the answer options and correct the answer after changing the interaction type.

(Optional) Switch to the Placement tab at the top to adjust the interaction’s placement from the sidebar to overlay the video.

(Optional) Switch to the Timing tab at the top to adjust when the interaction should appear for learners.

Click Done to save the change.

After editing the AI-generated question, the purple highlight will disappear.
