Making Movies Interactive

If you are looking for a new, exciting webtool to utilize this semester, today we are sharing one of our favorite recent finds! The tool is called Zaption, and is a great way to combine multiple channels of delivering information into one, and would be a great option for instructors who are focused on flipping their classroom.

Zaption is essentially a tool that allows users to create interactive videos. The videos they use as the base of the project can be uploaded from their own personal collection, selected from YouTube, Vimeo, TED and tons more. Users can then add images, text, discussions and even quizzes.

After videos are published, they can be simply shared with the link. The free version of Zaption allows users to view who has viewed their lesson, their responses to questions, etc. The pro user version allows users to export all this information into an Excel document, which includes some additional viewer details and options for organizing/filtering responses.

Zaption is free for the basic version, so is also a great tool for students to utilize for a project or presenting information to their peers! If you have questions on Zaption or would like to learn more, feel free to reach out to us!
