How to Make a Quiz From a Lesson Video
Watch the video and select moments that teach a concept or demonstrate a process. Build questions around those learning points, with enough information to answer fairly. A useful video quiz checks understanding rather than whether students noticed a presenter's clothing or background.
Visual evidence needs careful wording
A video can show something without explaining all its causes. Distinguish what students can observe from what they can infer, and do not ask them to draw a conclusion that the demonstration does not support.
Choose and check video-based items
Identify the relevant sections and the concepts students should learn from them.
Write objective questions about observations, explanations or predictions supported by the lesson.
Include needed data or context when students will answer without replaying the video.
Verify answers against the actual footage and review captions or transcripts for technical mistakes.
Put it into practice
Example: a shadow demonstration
Ask what happens to the shadow when the light source moves in a specified direction, using the conditions shown. If the distance also changes, avoid attributing every effect to direction alone. The question should respect the evidence rather than simplify away an important variable.
Before you share
- Do not rely on a video's title or thumbnail as a source for questions.
- Make any required viewing accessible before asking students to play the quiz.
