Make your videos interactive [Edpuzzle VS PlayPosit]

As more and more instructors use video for instruction, how can you make sure that students are watching and remaining attentive to the content?

In the previous post, we shared 3 simple video creation tools for you to try. But once you've made videos that you want to integrate into your course, how do you make sure that your students stay engaged, and watch the entire video?

In the past we've talked about using Easter Eggs as a strategy (as your Psychology colleagues can assure you, intermittent reinforcement is a powerful tool), but there are actually technologies available that allow you to insert questions for students to answer right within the video! This (1) keeps them engaged, and (2) holds them accountable.
Two popular tools for creating interactive videos are Edpuzzle and PlayPosit. Here are a few resources for you (including a Tech Tuesday post from 2019...):
  • "3 of Our Favorite Interactive Video Platforms," Teq | December 2021
  • "Edpuzzle Full Review for Teachers & Students," Educational Technology & Mobile Learning | January 2022
  • "PlayPosit - Interactive Videos to Engage Students (Teacher Full Review)," Educational Technology & Mobile Learning | January 2022
  • "Making Videos Interactive with PlayPosit [PDF]," Tech Tuesday | October 2019​
So - Edpuzzle or PlayPosit?
If you've used either (or both) of these tools, please share your insights in the comments section of the blog!

Blogger Adri Michelle has addressed the question of Edpuzzle or PlayPosit, including a comparison of the features of each:
