Kaltura Video Quiz
The Kaltura Video Quiz is a tool that can seamlessly embed multiple choice questions at various throughout a video found in your My Media repository. As your students watch the video, each question will appear at its chosen point; the video will then continue after the student answers the question.
The following content was pieced together from Kaltura's Interactive Video Quizzes page and from their Knowledge Center.
Some precautions
- Quiz results won't be submitted to Canvas if it takes longer than an hour to complete the quiz. Consider splitting long videos and encourage students to finish quizzes in one sitting.
- Don't embed video quizzes on Canvas pages; scores won't sync properly if taken on mobile devices.
- You can only add one question at a time in a video. If you add questions within 5 seconds of each other, the first one may be skipped.

Video Quiz Question Types
Currently the Kaltura Video Quiz has four options: multiple choice, true/false, and open-ended questions and reflection point prompts. After you have written the content for your question and clicked Save, the location of the question will appear above the timeline, which can then be clicked and dragged to make adjustments. You can also navigate through your questions by using the previous and next buttons found on either side of the play button found directly underneath the video preview.
Multiple Choice
The correct answer should be typed in the box with the green check next to it that says "Add the CORRECT Answer Here." Answers will appear in the same order for every student. To randomize the order of the answer choices you have entered, click on the double arrow icon at the top-left of the page. (There is no option to randomize answer choices so that each student gets a different order.) Answer options can also be re-ordered by clicking and dragging on the left-hand side of the answer choice to be moved. Click on the light bulb icon to add a hint or explanation.
True/False
Type your question where it says "Add a Question Here." The correct answer is designated by a white checkbox on a green background; the incorrect answer is designated by a white x on a red background. Click the check mark or the x to change the correct answer.
Open-Ended Question
Your student will be prompted to type in an answer to an open ended question. Upon completing the quiz, Kaltura Quizzes will mark that your student got the open-ended question right, no matter their response. It is advised that you change the scoring settings to "Do Not Show Scores," allowing you to review the responses and manually grade them later on.
Reflection Point
The reflection point will pause the video and display the text you enter. There is no opportunity for students to respond.
Video Quiz Settings
The Video Quiz settings allow you to customize how your students interact with the video.

Scores
Allows you to present each user with their score and the correct answers. The Scores dropdown includes whether you would like to allow students to have multiple attempts, and if you would like their score and the answers to appear when they finish.
Experience
The Experience section let's you decide if viewers can change their answers, skip questions, and force progressive viewing.
If you disable Allow Answers Change and allow your students to skip questions, then when your students finish the video, a message will appear telling them that they cannot continue because they have an unanswered question, which will give them an opportunity to go back and answer the remaining questions.
Lastly, you cannot enable the No Seeking Forward feature unless you also select Do not Allow Skip.
