WeVideo Interactivity provides LMS integration, allowing learners to access and complete interactive assignments, including interactive videos and playlists, directly within the LMS and sync their grades to the gradebook once the assignment is completed. Please see this article for more information about how learners complete interactive assignments through the LMS. For the instructor’s workflow on assigning interactive content to the LMS, please refer to these articles.
Access the assignment
Log in to the LMS as a learner and launch the assignment from the course.
If the interactive assignment is embedded in the LMS, click the Play button to launch the interactive video player and begin taking the assignment. If it is added as a link, click the link to launch the interactive assignment in a new tab.
When learners launch the interactive assignment from the LMS, they will automatically be logged into their WeVideo learner accounts. They can check the green banner at the top right of the player to confirm that they are accessing the correct account.
Take and complete the assignment
Interactive videos
After launching the assignment, click the Play button to start the interactive video.
In the lower right corner of the player, learners can adjust the interactive video player with the following actions:
- Closed captions: If captions are available, learners can turn them on or off with the closed captions button.
- Full screen: Expand the player and watch the interactive video in full-screen mode.
- Settings: Adjust the player settings, including volume, playback speed, other caption options, and whether the control panel will fade away.
In the lower left corner, learners can control the playback with the following options:
- Play/Pause: Start or stop the playback.
- Side zone: Expand the side zone to find the table of contents, notepad, and transcripts for the interactive video.
- Rewind/fast forward 10 seconds: Rewind or fast forward the interactive video for 10 seconds. Instructors can turn off these functions if they do not allow learners to fast forward.
To take notes while watching the interactive video, click the side zone button and select Notes at the top to open the notepad. The video playback will pause automatically while learners type. Please note that these notes are not visible to other learners but can be reviewed by the instructors.
When taking notes, answering free response questions, or participating in the discussion forum, learners can use the Rich Text Editor to adjust the format or add multimedia content to their submissions. Click the Use Rich Text? button to expand the rich text editor.
The embedded interactions will appear automatically while learners reach the designated timestamp in the interactive video. If the interaction is required, they must complete it and click Continue to resume video playback.
If the instructors enable multiple attempts for the interactions, learners can use the Retry button to retry the interaction they answered incorrectly.
If the PDF file is embedded in the interactive video, learners can use the annotation tool to add annotations to the PDF. Please note that annotations will not be saved with the interactive video and will be lost when learners close the player. To preserve the annotations, please download the PDF file after adding notes.
When taking the assignment, the progress is saved in real-time, allowing learners to leave and return later to continue.
To finish the interactive video, learners must watch the video until the last timestamp and ensure they see the completion screen.
If the instructor has set a minimum completion score for the interactive video, learners must meet this score to mark the interactive video as completed. For learners who do not meet the required scores, their status will remain 'in progress.' They must click the Retake button to attempt the Bulb again until they achieve the minimum score and mark it as completed.
Playlists
Launch the playlist and complete all items in it to complete the assignment. Each items have different requirements to be marked as completed:
- Interactive Videos: Complete the video and answer all required questions.
- PDF files: Reach the last page of the PDF file.
- Document attachments: Download the file.
- Web embed and text items: Stay on the page for 5 seconds.
When the item is completed, a green mark will be displayed next to it on the table of contents. Learners can click on the next item in the table of contents or click Next at the top right of the window to move forward.
If the instructor has enabled the lock progression feature for the playlist, a lock icon will appear next to the items in the table of contents until the item above it is completed. Please click Next to unlock the item and proceed to the next item in the playlist.
At any point, while working on the playlist, select Save and Exit to save all completed work and close the assignment.
If a certificate is available for the playlist, click Print Certificate to print a certificate of completion after completing all items in the playlist.
Revisit and review the assignment after submitting it
As long as the assignment is available in the LMS, learners can always return to it and rewatch the interactive assignment. However, when rewatching the assignment, learners cannot edit or submit new answers to the questions unless the instructors allow multiple attempts for the interactions or retake the Bulb.
If instructors enable the retake feature for the interactive video, learners can use the Retake button on the sidebar to retake the interactive video. Please note that once the learner chooses to retake the interactive video, all previous submissions will be archived, and the learner must reanswer all the questions again to complete the assignment.
If multiple attempts are enabled for the interactions, learners can use the Retry button to submit new answers and earn new grades from the interactions. After retrying the interactions and earning new grades, please inform the course instructor to sync the updated grades for learners from the monitor page. Please see this article for more information about syncing learners’ grades to the LMS.
