About the Interactive Video Quiz Maker (Add Questions to Your Own Video)

Turn your own video into a lesson that checks understanding as it plays. Open an MP4 or WebM file, trim it to the part that matters, and add questions at the moments you choose — multiple choice with one or more right answers, true or false, short answer, a number with an allowed difference, or a note to read. When a viewer watches, the video pauses at each question until it is answered, and the end shows the score and a review with timestamps that jump back to each moment.

You decide how strict it is: viewers can be stopped from skipping ahead past what they have watched, a wrong answer can replay the part before it, and a pass mark says who passed. With a Pro pass, share the activity as an offline package — a folder with the video and a page that plays it in any browser with no internet connection — or as a SCORM package for a learning platform, which records each viewer’s score. The video stays on your device: nothing is uploaded.

Common uses

• Teachers flipping a lesson: students watch the explanation at home and answer as they go.
• Trainers making induction and safety videos with a pass mark for a learning platform.
• Tutors checking that a recorded lesson was understood before the next session.
• Anyone who wants viewers to think at the important moments instead of watching passively.

How viewers take it

• The video plays in the browser’s own player, with its own controls, captions and full screen.
• At each question it pauses and the question appears below it; pressing play again does nothing until the question is answered.
• With skipping ahead off, moving the playhead past what has been watched brings it back; going back is always allowed.
• With replay after a wrong answer, the part since the previous question plays again and the question is asked once more (up to three tries). The first answer is the one scored, so a replay helps the viewer learn without changing the score.
• The end shows the points, the percentage, pass or fail, and every question with the viewer’s answer, the right answer and the explanation, each with its time to jump back to.

The packages

• Offline package (ZIP): index.html, the player, your video, the captions and the questions. Unzip it and open index.html in any browser, with or without internet; put the folder on a website and link to it, or show it in a frame. A viewer’s answers stay in their own browser, and the result page says how to print it or save it as a PDF with the browser’s own Print command.
• SCORM package (ZIP, SCORM 1.2 or 2004 4th Edition): upload it to your learning platform without unzipping it. It reports the score, pass or fail, each answer as an interaction, and completion when 90% of the video has been watched, and it resumes where the viewer stopped. To check a package before uploading it, open it in the SCORM Package Builder’s emulator by building it there from the same video and activity file.

Limitations

• It works with a video file on your device (MP4 or WebM; MOV where the browser plays it). Videos on streaming sites cannot be used: if the video is yours, use your own copy of the file.
• The offline package does not collect viewers’ results for you: each viewer sees and prints their own. A SCORM package in a learning platform records everyone’s score.
• A video that this browser cannot play cannot be used here either; convert it to MP4 (H.264) first.
• The free preview plays the first 3 questions; every question plays with a Pro pass. Your editor and the activity file keep all of them.
• Up to 200 questions per activity and 2 GB of video; the packages contain the whole video file, so large videos make large packages that take a while to save.
• SCORM 1.2 platforms keep 4,096 characters of a viewer’s progress: with very many questions the latest answers may not fit, and those questions are asked again when the viewer comes back. SCORM 2004 keeps 64,000 characters.
