Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable
Instructors can now embed ungraded knowledge check questions directly into videos in Video Studio. The video pauses at designated points and prompts students to answer a question related to the content they just watched. After answering correctly, the video resumes.
This feature helps instructors confirm that students understand key concepts and keeps students engaged throughout the video.
Instructors
Instructors can add knowledge checks from the Edit screen for a recording. The page shows the number of knowledge checks in use. Instructors can add or edit questions, set multiple-choice options with one or more correct answers, and choose the timestamp where the question appears. Questions are ungraded and designed to validate comprehension, not assess performance. Instructors also have access to general analytics about student responses.

Students
When students watch a video with knowledge checks, the video stops at the specified timestamp and displays a question. Students must answer correctly to continue and can try as many times as needed. Knowledge checks create an interactive experience that encourages active participation and deeper understanding.
