Camtasia's quizzing features make it easy to gather feedback from your viewers
In this video, I'll walk you through how to create and export a video with a
quiz or survey, along with how to receive quiz results
Before we start, it's important to note that videos with quizzes or surveys made in
Camtasia must be viewed in the TechSmith Smart Player
and there are three simple ways to use the Smart Player
One, upload a video to Screencast.com, which uses the Smart Player
for all its videos
Two, host a video on your own website and upload the Smart Player
and three, upload a video and quiz as a SCORM package to a SCORM compliant LMS
Now that we know where we can use quizzes and surveys, let's get started
To add a quiz, choose interactivity from the tools panel and select one of the options
The first option adds a quiz to the timeline. Quizzes added to the timeline
can be moved freely to any point in the video
The second option attaches a quiz to a specific piece of media
which then moves with that piece of media as it's positioned on the timeline
adding a quiz turns on quizzing mode, which allows you to quickly add more quizzes
by clicking on the quiz track above the media or the timeline
to toggle quizzing mode on or off, click this arrow
with a quiz selected, add questions and modify options in the properties panel
by default, the question tab is open with a blank question already added
to help you get started. Choose the question type
enter the question text
along with answers to the question
set the correct answer. Then decide if you'd like to give viewers
feedback, depending on whether they get the question right or wrong
For example, send the viewer to a specific point in the video if they
answer incorrectly
To add additional questions to a quiz, click add question
When finished, click this button to preview the quiz
It's important to note that quizzes are not displayed on the canvas when previewing a project
Select the options tab to modify the quiz name and choose whether quiz
results are displayed to viewers, or if the quiz is to be scored
To produce a video with a quiz, choose either Screencast.com
or Local File
For a Local File, choose any of the MP4 with Smart Player options
or choose Custom Production Settings
and then choose MP4 with Smart Player
Continue through the production wizard until you get to the quiz options
Select this box and enter an email address where you'd like to receive your results
Then, choose whether or not viewers can take the quiz anonymously
Click here if you'd like to modify the appearance of the quiz buttons by
changing their text. This is handy if you're creating a survey as opposed
to a quiz. To make this video and quiz into a SCORM
package for a SCORM compliant LMS, select this option and enter
your SCORM information here
When finished, Camtasia will produce the video and the Smart Player to go along with it
If you're on a Mac, choose Screencast.com or Local File
For Local File, choose MP4 or Main Concept and make sure
both Export as Webpage and Include Quiz are selected
Click here to set up an email address for quiz results and change the appearance
of quiz buttons. To make this video and quiz into a SCORM package
for a SCORM compliant LMS, select this option and enter your SCORM
information here
When finished, click export and Camtasia will produce the video and Smart Player
to go along with it. Upload these files to you website or
LMS to view your quiz online. At the end of
each day, you'll receive an email of results, including two spreadsheets
One that summarizes the results for the day
and another that contains detailed information for each question
Results can also be viewed online, at results.techsmith.com
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for watching!
