General FAQ
What is an interactive video quiz?
Viewers are prompted to answer quiz questions at different points of viewing a video, testing their understanding of the different concepts discussed in the video.

WeVideo Best Practices
Get organized before you begin.
- Brainstorm how the video content will be used with questions to best support your learning objectives.
- Set clear goals and learning objectives for the video; then explain these at the beginning of the video as a reflective pause question type.
Create a script for your narration and speak slowly.
- Know your audience; use terminology and concepts they will understand.
- Don’t mix spoken word and on-screen text as students can’t absorb both.
- Create a caption file for the videos. For assistance, contact the campus captioning service at captioning@colorado.edu.
Place questions right after the relevant content in the video, and not all at the end of the video.
Make video learning active and interactive by asking questions and giving feedback.
Place questions at even intervals throughout the video.
Break videos longer than 10 minutes into shorter, separate videos that build upon previous concepts.
- Keep instructional videos short as research suggests that students' attention wanes after 5 minutes.
- Step-by-step demonstrations engage students' attention better than "talking head" videos.
Get feedback from your students.
When soliciting feedback, be very specific on what you are looking for and when the feedback should be provided.
Advice when using the Free Response (FR) question type.
When using the Free Response (FR) question type, we recommend that you place a Reflective Pause (RP) question type on the front of the video. This RP question can address any concerns the student may have before the video begins.
