PlayPosit: Using It

I chose to use PlayPosit to create a formative assessment that goes along with a video which, hypothetically, would give me feedback to see if students were understanding the big information and ideas from an assigned video. 

I chose this format because I tend to find videos when I need to review something or learn a microtopic quickly. My favorites are Crash Course and the Amoeba Sisters. 

Building the video was very easy and there was a great number of examples of previously done "bulbs" (videos with playposit questions added) so it was easy to see how it can be used.

At the end of creating the video, I did find that actually assigning the video was less user friendly. I ended up creating a Google classroom to attempt to assign the video through there. It took multiple attempts and reading through their help guide a few times to even get to the point of assigning the video. 

Writing this before anyone has taken the assignment, though, does not give me much to work with. I cannot know for sure if the assign link was successful and I cannot see what the data from the video quiz looks like. 

Write now, I am unsure if I would use playposit again, but I plan to revisit this after someone takes my video quiz.

  1. I went in to take the quiz. I had to restart the quiz a couple of times. Although I created an account and I was logged in it kept prompting me that I was taking the quiz anonymously.
    I worked my way about half way through the quiz and then I clicked on one of the links. The link launched in the same tab and when I navigated back the quiz started over. The second restart came at about the 7 minute mark. Playposit would not accept what I have entered and repeatedly prompted that I must enter a response. The third time was a charm. I turned in an image of what the screen looked like as I finished the quiz. I am not sue if you could see any of my responses. There are some gaps we will need to figure out.

PlayPosit: What is it and is it any good?

When I went into the Common Sense website , the list of tools was completely overwhelming. To prevent myself from really going down the rabbit hole, I went to the listed recommended formative assessment tools. I was actually familiar with quite a few of them, so I decided to select one that I had never heard of before. Of the listed tools, I narrowed it down to two that I was interested in: PlayPosit and Formative. After taking a quick look at both, I liked them both, but I decided to look more into PlayPosit for the purposes of this assignment. Now, I'm not saying that I chose this tool because of the logo, but I'm also not saying that I didn't PlayPosit is a tool that allows the user to create and publish "bulbs" in which different types of questions (only multiple choice, if using the free version) are added into a video. Users are able to create their own bulbs or use previously created ones. While researching this tool, I watched and answered a cou...
