Add Interactive Quiz Questions to a Video - A couple of years ago, Screencastify introduced a new feature that allows video creators to add questions to their videos (think EdPuzzle). These questions needed to be added and placed manually. Now, Screencastify is leveraging AI to generate questions using your video's captions. This tutorial will show you how to generate questions automatically with the AI Assistant feature. Once generated you can edit questions, set a question weight, etc. As you watch this tutorial, you will get to experience a Screencastify video with quiz questions inserted.
Create Video Assignments For Students - Screencastify Submit allows you to create an assignment prompt in which students can respond to by creating and submitting a video. Screencastify even includes templates to help you get started. This video will show you how to create an assignment and review collected submissions.
