Canvas Interface with ActivePresenter Video Quiz

[william_batlle]

Presently I am using ActivePresenter to edit my videos, insert the quiz questions, then process and export the video (in SCROM format). I embed the video into Canvas. I make the link visible to my students in a Module, my students play the videos and answer the questions in Canvas and I have it linked to the Gradebook. The final scores go to the Gradebook just fine. What is lacking is any granular information (which questions were missed, etc.) visible to me the instructor. I can put in a "Report Slide" at the end of the video which allows each student to see their overall breakdown of the score and to go back and review. 

For me to see this information, when I "Export" the video (process the video) in ActivePresenter, rather than export to SCORM I can export to HTML 5 (format either XML Document or JSON Javascript Object Notation) but that creates a report for which I am to use an HTTP address, and I do not know if I can (or how to) send it into Canvas. Someone posted code to format it into Google Sheets, but I assume that is not an option with FERPA restrictions. 

Thank you for any insights or guidance.

Hi Bill,

Have you tried putting the http URL into an iFrame generator, such as https://www.iframe-generator.com/ and then copying the generated code and embedding that in Canvas? I havnt used Active Presenter although I've had a look at it. If the video has a URL it should be embeddable. As for the questions, could you transfer those to Canvas and perhaps set them up in a New Quiz, using just one Stimulus Question and putting the video in as the stimulus, then attaching the individual questions to the side, and let Canvas do the marking for you? I.e only using the video from Active Presenter. A little extra work I appreciate, but the marks would go directly into the Gradebook from the quiz and the students would be able to see them after completion.

Hello Victoria,

Thank you so much for thinking about this and replying. I do not know if the method you suggest trying would pause the video (and hold it until the question is answered) and then continue. I won't have time to try until the end of the semester in another month.

My other concern is the types of questions that ActivePresenter allows may not be in Canvas New Quiz. I trust that Canvas has multiple choice and free response, where I specify what answers are correct. It's usually a number, short expression, or equation. Canvas may have multiple match, like what three choices are valid. I will be surprised if Canvas has drag and drop matching, or the ability to rank choices.

I will respond again if I make any progress.

Thanks,

Bill
