PlayPosit is an interactive video platform designed for educators to enhance the learning experience through interactive videos. PlayPosit allows you to transform a passive activity of watching a video into an interactive, learning-focus experience for the student. One can assess the learner's performance and success while validating that the students are learning what you want them to learn from the video. PlayPosit turns traditional videos into engaging and interactive learning experiences for students by adding interactive elements such as quizzes, discussions, annotations, and other activities. Creating engagement in a video creates the opportunity for the faculty to highlight sections of the video that their students might not be able to identify on their own.
Educators use PlayPosit to create interactive video lessons that require students to actively participate and engage with the content by making it easy to incorporate interactive videos into existing courses without the need for a complete course redesign.
Key features of PlayPosit include:
- Video customization: Users can upload their own videos or import content from various video hosting platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
- Interactive elements: Users can insert questions, polls, discussions, notes, and other interactive features into the video timeline, encouraging active learning.
- Analytics: PlayPosit provides data and analytics to instructors, allowing them to track student progress, view engagement metrics, and assess performance on interactive elements.
