Using YuJa Lumina’s Interactive Video Tools

Interactive videos can help students:

• Stay engaged throughout a video.
• Check their understanding of key concepts.
• Reflect on what they are learning.
• Receive immediate feedback.
• Prepare for class or assessments.

By breaking up longer videos with interactive elements, instructors can encourage active learning and reduce passive viewing.

Lumina allows instructors to insert a variety of question types throughout a video in a video quiz. Inserting questions allow you to check student comprehension and reinforce key concepts. Commonly used question types are highlighted below. Select a question type to learn more.

Lumina also has the ability to create a playback quiz which will grade students based on their video watch percentage rather than responses to questions.

• Keep videos short and focused.
• Place questions at natural stopping points.
• Ask questions that require students to think, not just recall facts.
• Mix question types to maintain engagement.
• Use playback quizzes as low-stakes formative assessments.
• Provide feedback when appropriate to reinforce learning.

Interactive videos work well for:

• Lecture videos.
• Demonstrations.
• Lab procedures.
• Worked examples.
• Pre-class preparation.
• Review and exam preparation.

Interactive videos encourage students to actively engage with instructional content rather than passively watching it. By incorporating playback quizzes and other question types throughout a video, instructors can increase engagement, reinforce learning, and provide opportunities for formative assessment.
