About

Kaltura's Video Quiz seamlessly integrates with Kaltura Video Portal (MediaSpace) and all Kaltura Application Framework (KAF) based applications, including various Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and Social Business Software (SBS) platforms. Powered by the Kaltura V7 player, it ensures a smooth and consistent user experience across platforms.

How does a Video Quiz work?

Video Quiz allows creators to add multiple-choice, True / False, and open-ended questions  into videos using an intuitive editor. Questions appear at chosen points during playback, allowing users to engage with the content. Creators can customize settings to allow users to repeat sections, skip questions, get hints, and more. This enhances engagement, tests knowledge, and collects effectiveness data.

From the creator's side, Video Quiz integrates seamlessly with Kaltura applications like Video Portal and various learning management systems (LMS) or Social Business Software (SBS) platforms. On the playback side, Video Quiz is supported by the Kaltura player on any digital device.

Examples of Video Quiz use cases include adding questions to lectures, training videos, and marketing materials to boost engagement and reduce drop-out rates. It also allows linking learning materials to test questions for immediate feedback and creating lightweight certification systems or conducting market research within media content.

Adding interactivity to media

Integrating Video Quiz into media enhances educational and training videos by embedding questions directly into the video. Kaltura’s Video Quiz facilitates interactive learning, allowing viewers to engage directly with the content. It also enables creators to monitor the video's impact, increasing engagement and effectiveness while improving learning outcomes.

You can add quiz questions to YouTube entries; however, you cannot add cue points to the timeline, slides, or chapters as is done for videos that are uploaded to the Kaltura cloud.
