Instructors can embed polling questions into video or audio media, creating interactive media. Then, they can post that media to a course or embed it in an LMS / VLE course page (such as Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, Brightspace, or Sakai).
The playback for interactive media is shown in the figure below. It plays like a normal video but includes polling questions that prevent you from viewing certain sections until you respond. In the figure below, the pins on the timeline indicate the locations of those polling questions.
Click Play on the media.
When your playback reaches a polling question, the video pauses and the polling question appears in the viewer. Depending on the length of the question, the type of poll, and the number of response options, you may need to scroll or expand the screen to see all of the poll options.
How you respond to the polling question depends on the type of activity or question it is. You may need to select from a list of options, as the polling question in the figure above indicates, reorder a list, or enter a response into a text box. See Responding to Polling Questions if you need specific instructions for responding to each type of activity.
After you enter your response, click Submit.
Your response, along with the Correct response, appears. In addition, if the instructor has provided feedback for the polling question, you may see that below the response area.
The Submit button becomes a Continue button, allowing you to continue watching the video until the next polling question.
If there is a transcript for the media, it will appear, but the polling questions gate the text, just like the media playback. You cannot download the transcript until you have answered all the polling questions.
Finally, if there is a discussion post with a media (location) reference beyond an unanswered poll, you will not see that post until you have answered all polling questions before the referenced location. The Discussion panel provides a notification when posts are currently hidden.
