PlayPosit is an interactive web-based video platform that allows instructors to embed various interactions, such as quiz-type questions, into videos from Youtube, Vimeo, or mp4 video files. Turn passive viewing into active learning. PlayPosit can be used asynchronously or synchronously via Zoom or in-person. More than video, PlayPosit allows you to create interactive digital worksheets, readings, and syllabus annotation. Students can submit video demonstrations and even create interactive video activities/presentations. Create playlists to create a learning path, and more.
