Examopotamia1. Choose short clips
One to three minutes per clip is ideal. Long videos lose attention and are hard to rewatch on a phone. If your video is long, use several short sections, each followed by two or three questions.
2. Put the clip where it belongs
If several questions are about the same clip, put the video on an info slide before them; info slides are never scored. If a question is about one moment, add the video, image or audio to that question itself. YouTube and Vimeo links play inside the quiz, and you can upload MP4 videos, images, GIFs and MP3 audio.
3. Ask about what matters
- What happened, in order, or what was the result?
- What should the person in the video have done differently?
- Which statement matches what the speaker said?
- What does the chart in the video show?
Avoid questions about tiny details nobody would remember, such as the colour of a shirt, unless noticing details is the skill you are testing.
4. Mind accessibility
Add a short description to every image and video for screen readers. For listening tests, tell people to use headphones. Make sure the question can be answered on a small screen without zooming into a chart.
5. Test it on a phone
Preview the quiz on your own phone before sharing. Check that videos start, the sound works and the questions are readable. Then share it as an online test, add it to a course, or play it as a live quiz. Start building with the video quiz maker.
