How can I generate interactions with AI in Interactivity?

Jason Liu -

In this article:

Teachers 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 meet the instruction needs best.

Add AI-generated interactions to the interactive video

WeVideo supports creating AI-generated interactions with interactive videos built with exports from your WeVideo account or YouTube videos you own. Please see the sections below for more information.

 

Use WeVideo to manage and publish your videos

AI-generated interactions are available for the interactive videos built with WeVideo exports. Please follow the steps below to upload or create your videos to WeVideo and add them to Interactivity:

Switch to the Multimedia Creation space and select Create.

To generate AI interactions, the video must have subtitles attached to it. If you do not have a subtitle file for the video, you can click Subtitles and select Auto-generate subtitles to generate the subtitles for this video. If you have the subtitle file in VTT or SRT format, you can upload it to the interactive video in the step below.

(Optional) If you have the video's captions file, switch to the Video Segments tab in the interactive video designer and click the CC icon at the top left of the video.

Upload the caption file to the video. WeVideo Interactivity supports captions in VTT and SRT format. Click Done to save the change.

Click the Generate Interactions button to generate questions with the AI tool.Screenshot 2024-09-25 143604.png

Select the option to generate the question on the selected timestamp or randomly generate the questions for the entire video. Then, choose the complexity and interaction type of the question. For the selected timestamp, only one complexity and interaction type can be selected, and multiple complexities and interaction types can be chosen for the entire video. There are six complexity levels based on the 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.

Upload captions to WeVideo for YouTube videos you own

If you are the owner of the YouTube videos, you can download your caption file in .VTT format from YouTube and manually upload the captions into WeVideo Interactivity to use the AI-generated interactions with the uploaded captions. Once you have the caption files, please follow the steps below to import them into Interactivity.


Select Interactive Videos and click Create interactive video.
