This week we want to introduce you to a great tool for creating interaction with videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Video is increasingly being used in teaching and learning, from recorded lectures to short videos used as part of a <\/span>Flipped Learning<\/span><\/a> approach. Watching a video can, however, quickly become a passive experience, whereas learning should be active.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vizia lets you add quizzes, polls and calls to action to a video. You can also add the option for viewers to give a response. Here is an example of a video where I have used Vizia to add a range of interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does Vizia do?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vizia allows you to add polls, quizzes, open ended questions and \u2018calls to action\u2019 to specific points in a video. As viewers watch the video the interactive elements pop up and they can type in their response. At the end of the video, a score for any quizzes is given. You can also choose to collect participants\u2019 email addresses, allowing you to follow up on any questions or misconceptions and feed these forward into face-to-face teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a very quick example, showing each of the types of interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

This video was taken from <\/span>NASA\u2019s channel on YouTube<\/span><\/a>, but you could also upload a video you have made to YouTube and use it in Vizia. If you set it to <\/span>\u2018unlisted\u2019 in YouTube<\/span><\/a> it will not appear in searches.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you have created your Vizia it can be shared via a link or embedded in a website or blog. Further options allow you to gather names of viewers and download their responses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideas for using Vizia in learning and teaching<\/b><\/h3>\n

Anywhere that you could use video in teaching and learning you could consider using Vizia. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n
