Annoto: Survey with Open-Ended (Free Response) Quiz Questions

Environment

Annoto
MiVideo
Canvas

Issue

How an instructor can use Annoto to create a survey using Free Response (open-ended) quiz questions in a MiVIdeo video.

• Free Response questions prompt students to generate a written response.
• Only instructors and the student who wrote the reply can see the reply to a Free Response question.
• Surveys/quizzes can be graded or non-graded.
• Graded surveys/quizzes require manual grading.
• Graded surveys/quizzes final scores are sent to Canvas Gradebook once all all Free Response questions in the quiz are graded.

Tip: because Annoto is interactive and collects user behavior, Annoto quizzes will not work in public courses since public courses do not require authentication to access. 

Resolution

Videos must be added to the MiVideo service to use Annoto.

Graded Survey

Create an Annoto quiz with one or more Free Response (open-ended) questions in a Canvas assignment. See the Quiz Students On Video Material In Canvas  and Grade and View Video Quiz Results In Canvas articles.

Ungraded Survey

Create an Annoto quiz with one or more Free Response (open-ended) questions on a Canvas page. Each Free Response question is worth 0 points. Grades from an Annoto quiz embedded onto a page will not be sent to Gradebook.

1. Create a Canvas Page

Note: The instructor will need to be the owner or co-publisher of the MiVideo video to add the video to the page.

1. Navigate to the course in Canvas > Pages > + Page
2. Give the page a title
3. In Text Editor, select the MiVideo icon in the second row of toolbar buttons. If you do not see the MiVideo icon, click the triple dots icon.
4. Select the settings ("gear") icon next to the video or playlist to embed.
5. Select a Max Embed Size of 960 x 540 or larger.
6. Click the Embed button.
7. Add additional content in the Text Editor as needed.
8. Click Save (don't publish the page until after creating the quiz).

2. Enable Annoto Quiz at the Individual Video Level

Enable Annoto Quizzes for this individual video.

1. In the assignment, click the play button in the player to load the controls.
2. Click the Annoto icon in the lower right corner of the player to open the Annoto widget (if not already).
3. Click the Annoto menu button in the upper left of the widget and select Dashboard.
4. Click the Preferences icon in the upper right.
5. Enable Quizzes.
6. ​​​​Tip: to prevent students from fast forwarding through the video, enable the Limit Fast Forwarding feature. Click the Options button to limit fast forwarding for mandatory quizzes and/or optional quizzes. Annoto will remember where the student left off in the video and will resume from their last watched point.

3. Create Annoto Quiz Worth 0 Points

1. On the page, click the play button in the player to load the controls.
2. Click the Annoto icon in the lower right corner of the player to open the Annoto widget (if not already).

4. Play the video or move the scrubber to the location on the video to insert a question.
5. To create Free Response questions, follow the steps in the Annoto guides: Creating a New Interaction and Interactions Creation Flow.
   • Set each Free Response question to be worth 0 points.
6. Questions can be edited as needed. Questions edited after the quiz is published will need to be republished.
7. Optional: after the quiz is complete, preview the quiz.
8. Publish the page so students can view it.

How Students Take The Quiz

Because an Annoto quiz is used for the survey and each question is worth 0 points, students will see a 0% final score for the quiz. Grades from an Annoto quiz embedded onto page will not be sent to Gradebook.

1. Navigate to the Page.
2. Start watching the video and answer the questions when they appear.
3. The Quiz tab on the Annoto widget shows how many questions have been answered and will always display a 0% score as the questions aren't worth any point values.
4. Finish watching the video, there is no need to submit anything else.

View Free Responses

Free Response replies can be viewed from the Annoto dashboard.

1. Navigate to the video.
2. Click the Annoto icon in the lower right corner of the player to open the Annoto widget (if not already).
3. Click the Annoto menu button in the upper left of the widget and select Dashboard.
4. Select Assessment > Pending Grading.
5. View all student replies for all Free Response questions for the video.
6. Optional: Giving a reply a grade will remove the reply from this tab. If students access the quiz again they will see a 0 score for the question because it's worth 0 points. Once the reply is removed from the Pending Grading tab, it can still be viewed by selecting an individual student from the Overview tab.
