Before you start
How can I adjust the interactive videos to prevent learners from skipping ahead until they have answered the required questions?
Ensure the interactions are set to “Required”
To ensure learners complete the required interactions before completing the interactive video, the interactions must be set to the “Required” state in the interactive video.
From the Multimedia Creation space, switch to the Interactive Videos page, and click Edit. Or from the Interactivity page, click the interactive video thumbnail, then click Edit.
Click Advanced to expand the advanced settings menu for the required interaction.
Ensure the Interaction is Required option is selected. If this option is not selected, learners will be able to complete the interactive video without submitting an answer to this interaction.
Repeat the steps for other required interactions in the interactive video.
Adjust the interactive video playback options to prevent skipping
Instructors can adjust the interactive video’s playback options to prevent learners from fast-forwarding or skipping.
Click Review at the top of the interactive video editor to switch to the Review tab and expand the Playback Options menu.
Adjust the following settings as needed:
- Unselect the “Allow learners to skip interactions” option: This option will override the required setting in interactions’ advanced settings, making all interactions not required and skippable. To prevent learners from skipping in the interactive video, please unselect this option.
- Adjust the “Allow viewers to fast-forward” option: This option lets learners fast-forward through the interactive video. They still need to answer all required questions, but can fast-forward to the next required interaction in the interactive video if this option is enabled. Please adjust this option based on your desired learning experience for learners.
- Adjust the “Allow learners to increase playback speed” option: Allow learners to play the interactive video at up to 2x speed. If this option is not enabled, learners can only slow down the playback speed, but cannot increase it. Please adjust this option based on your desired learning experience for learners.
Click Save Changes to save the settings, then click Save & Exit to exit the editor.
Can instructors preview the interactive videos as learners to ensure the settings are correct?
Yes, instructors can preview the interactive video from the learner’s perspective to ensure the learning experience is as expected. To launch the interactive video in the preview mode, navigate to the Interactive Videos page in Interactivity and click the Preview button on the interactive video. Or click the interactive video’s thumbnail on the Interactive Videos page from the Interactivity space and select Preview from the list.
When previewing the interactive video, click the settings icon in the lower-right corner of the player and change the Playback Mode to Learner.
