If you want to teach online courses then this video is for you because in this video I'm
going to show you how to add some amazing features to your video lectures. For example,
how to add questions how to add voice overlays and we are starting right after this short
break.
Hello and welcome to my channel my name is Tahir and if this is your first time, please
hit the subscribe button and also the notification bell to get notified whenever I post a new
video on this channel. every Tuesday and Friday. I make videos about technology which any student
or teachers can use, for example, learning management systems, certain applications which
can enhance your video lectures and improve student engagement. So if you are interested
in creating online courses, or tutoring online, you Then subscribing to this channel might
be useful. Now this video is a detailed video. So I would suggest that you take a cup of
coffee or tea whatever you drink and sit back and watch full video because I am confident
that you will get a lot of value if you are an online teacher.
Now what are these features which we can add by using edpuzzle application so there are
few things as an online teacher we should be focusing on. For example, we want to force
our students to watch full video lectures. Also, we want to ask questions at a particular
location. This is also very important and sometimes when we are making video we forget
something and once the video is ready, we want to add something inside the video and
it is sometimes very hard to re edit the video. So what we can do is we can add some wires
overlay so this is a very important feature. So edpuzzle provides us the ability to add
all these features you can add up Question two any particular location the video will
stop there student will have to answer the question. Otherwise they will not be able
to watch the rest of the video and once they submitted the answer, then there will be a
Continue button. They will watch the video then you can put multiple questions then you
can also see how much video they have watched or how many questions they have correctly
answered by using edpuzzle application. This is not a promoted video. The only reason I'm
making this video is because I like this application. And I think that this application is a game
changer for online teachers. Now without further ado, I will jump on my computer and I will
show you how you can add all these features. I will try to explain edpuzzle features by
using a teacher's account and a student account in two separate windows I need to open incognito
window for student account. So therefore I will show you one by one. This is my teacher's
account on edpuzzle On the left hand side, I have home which is the current location,
then curriculum name of my school and my contents. If I click on my contents here I have two
types of videos on the right hand side, these two are my own videos. While these two videos
are those videos, which I have added from any of these popular channels, and I will
show you how to add a video in a minute. But as you can see that we have many channels,
and if I click on edpuzzle, I can see that there are a lot of videos. Similarly, if I
click on YouTube, I can have any of these YouTube videos I can search and I can find
a video. Similarly, we have Khan Academy, which is a popular YouTube channel, National
Geographic TED talks and some other channels. So if I click on curriculum, I get this page
and on this page, we have three different tabs, elements school, middle school and high
school. And if I click on View contents as you can see that we have a lot of video contents
for elementary schools and we can use any of these contents This is the duration of
the video and beside that you can see that nine and then this mark it means that this
video has nine questions then if I click on digit idea, this is my school. It's a brand
new school. And the most important part here is in my contents area if I click on my contents
Now let us see how I brought these videos. So if I click on Add Content, if I click on
create video, I can search any content for example, let's search for algebraic expressions.
And if I search as you can see that I find these videos this is one of the videos which
I have got from here. Let us assume that no I want to take this video. I click on this
video and now the video is here. No, I can play the video. And if I click on YouTube,
this will take me to the YouTube channel of this person.
But if I want to take this to into my contents, I click on assign here. And now I have few
settings. For example, if I click this, it will prevent students from keeping the video
so they have to watch the video in continuity. This is to turn on closed captions. And if
I want to use this video as an assignment, I can have a due date here. So let's put some
due date of 21st of March and save. Now here I have few options on the left hand side.
This is the only class I have at the moment. So if I click here, and then assign it will
be included to my class. So this is one way of adding a video to a class. If I want to
add at a later stage, then I don't click this and I click later. So if I click later, I
can come back to this area. So if I click on edpuzzle I will go back to my home screen.
And if I click on my content now, as you can see that this video is here, so let's click
this video, I have many options here, assign, edit, move to a particular folder duplicate,
or I can simply unselect or let's select again, I can delete. So in order to assign this video
to someone, I have to click on assign, and I will see the same screen and no I click
on algebra class and no, I can assign this to all of my students or I can assign them
manually. Currently, I only have one student, which is myself from another account so I
can assign this to this student. If new students join the class, you need to add them to this
assignment because I am going to assign this to a particular student. And if I assign this
to all then it will be assigned to all students and no I simply click Assign. Now I have the
option to review the video in student mode. So let's click on the video. And now if I
start the video, I can turn off the voice. And if I want to move this to forward as you
can see that this locked will appear here, but I can still pause the video and later
on continue it, I can take this to full screen. So now I have not put any question on this
video. There are no notes. So the assignment is to watch this video. So this is the assignment.
As you can see here on the right hand side. It explains that was the whole video to turn
in the assignment you know I click on edpuzzle again to go back and this time I click on
digit idea. And no I have a great book option here. If I click on gradebook, as you can
see that my student has washed for zero second. So this person has not spent any time on this
video. No, I am in my student account and I refreshed this. So now this assignment is
here so if I click on this video, it also explains to me as a student because no I am
logged in as a student that I have to watch this whole video. And no I have watched this
video for one minute and few seconds. As a student if I click on my avatar, I have the
option to log out. So no I have logged out as a student. Let's go back to my teacher's
account and if I refresh this, as you can see that now it shows that this student has
spent one minute watching this video. So this is how you can check the progress of your
students and if you feel that student is weak in a particular area, you can double check
that whether the student has watched the video The topic or not, so you can clearly see that
the student has not watched the complete video if I click on Add puzzle into my contents
and now this video has four questions, I want to assign this video. So I click on this checkbox
and then assign this to my student, all of the students in this class and I click Assign
and now I log in again as a student
I can see this video and let's click on that now This video has three questions already
added on this video. So if I play this video, and now we are approaching the first question,
which is a multiple choice question as you can see, the time is coming close to two minutes
and eight seconds. And exactly at this point, the video stops and as you can see that the
on the player there are no controls. Students have to answer this question at this time
and the video Is unplayable they cannot played they cannot click anything nothing. They have
to answer this question. So let's say I click six, and noise Submit. And it shows to me
that I got full marks. My question is correct. If I want to rewatch I can rewatch otherwise,
a Continue button appears here and no, I can continue. Now the video will start playing
again, until the second question is reached, and so on. And now I'm inside my teachers
account and gradebook. And no, I refresh, and I click on this video, and it shows me
that the student, that student has watched 40%. And if I click on these questions, I
can see that, that these are the questions and if I click on this circle, it shows me
that one out of one, right. So this was the right answer. If I click on Next question,
so it shows me zero out of one right and so on. So this is all you can see the result
of the questions attempted by students. No, this is the most important part of this video,
we will learn how to edit a video I am on my home screen and now I click on my contents
I select the video which doesn't have any questions or anything so that we can add these
features. So I click on this video, and then I click on Edit. And now as you can see that
we have three main features here we can cut this video cut all the irrelevant parts we
can put our voiceover where we want to add any comment or our own opinion at a particular
location of the video or we can add questions. So I have already shown you these questions
from a student perspective and now I'm going to show you how to add these questions. So
let's start from cutting the video below the video. You can see this blue horizontal bar
and there are two white vertical bars so you can drag this before we Cut. Please note the
duration of this video this video is seven minutes and 13 seconds. And if I want to cut
the beginning and end of this video, I can simply drag these white bars and I can keep
the portion which I want. And now you can see the new time of the video is only 335.
And this is how you can cut from the beginning or end if you want to keep only a specific
part of the video. Now what if I want to cut three different areas of the video. So how
to do that I undo this undo again. And now let's say I want some part from here and some
part from there and some part in the middle since I need three parts. So to do that, I
click on this needle and when the needle is in the center, this add cut will be enabled
and I just click Add cut and no I have two sets of vertical bars which I can drag so
then I can change this part which I want to keep and I want to different areas in this
site. So I bring this needle in the middle and click on Add cut.
And no, I have three different areas, which I can move wherever I want. And I can keep
that particular area and remove the areas which are not relevant to this topic. And
no, my video length is only four minutes and four seconds. So if I click on finish, my
video is now four minute and four second, and this consists of only those three blue
areas. So let me click on Edit again. And this time, I want to reset this first. So
I click on reset and my video is in the original shape. And now I want to add a voiceover.
So if I click on voiceover, and then I have to move this to a particular location where
I want to add my own comments or my own opinion, so let's say I want to add here one minute
51 second, I just click on start recording, and no I can add My voiceover whatever I want.
So this is my voice over, and then I say stop recording. And no my voice over has been added,
which is just 11 seconds long, and which starts at one minute and 51 seconds. So if I want,
I can listen to this. And if I want to delete this, I can simply click on delete, and it
will be deleted. So this is all you add voiceover. Now, in order to add questions, click on questions.
And no, either you can add a multiple choice question, open ended question where students
will get some space to write down their answers. Or you can also add a note. So first you select
where you want to add the question. So let's say I want to add my question at this location.
Now I click on multiple choice questions. And now I type my questions and then the correct
answer and then the Romans For example Which plane is this?
x y? x A y Zed? Or I can add another answer let's let's say exit. This is my correct answer
and these two are wrong answers and then I can simply save the question and no I have
to click Finish when the video will reach at this point, this question will appear student
will have to answer the question and only then they will see this continue button as
I have shown you earlier. So as you saw that this is a fantastic application for online
teachers. You can curate contents, you can create complete courses on particular topic
just by curating the contents from any YouTube channels or any existing videos available
within edpuzzle applications. You can check the progress of your students, you can automatically
grade students and you can run online courses and how easy it is to curate courses from
Existing videos.
There are millions of educational videos available on YouTube, which you can access from within
at puzzle and we are not stealing anyone's contents. We are just linking to their videos.
So when some students are watching those YouTube videos, they are actually watching those videos
on YouTube. And there is the YouTube button at the bottom. If they click there, they can
straight away Go to the YouTube channel. So I hope you like this video. There are many
more videos available on my channel for teachers. So you might be interested in those videos.
Some will appear at the end of this video. Thanks for watching. See you next time.
