Step 3: You can toggle back and forth between the quiz options and the quiz questions, by clicking on the icons shown below. NOTE: You can tell which button is enabled by a green bar directly underneath the icon.:

Step 4: From Quiz Options you can change the name of your quiz or make other edits. If you want to allow the users to see how they did on the quiz, make sure the box “Viewer can see their results” is selected. You can also choose to receive graded quiz results for the video.

Step 5: Click on the Question icon, and then select the Question Type from the dropdown menu. (Choices includes multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, and true/false.)



Step 6: Next, add your questions and answers by just typing in the text fields.

Click on Add Question at the bottom to add as many questions as you want:

Step 7: Once you are done adding questions, preview the quiz by clicking on the Quiz Options tab and then click on the Preview button. The quiz will open in the default browser and you can test the quiz.



Step 8: All the other options are set when you produce the video. Several options support quizzing - share to screencast.com, MP4 with the video player options, or use the custom production settings. In this example, we’ll use custom production settings. Click on the Share button on the menu and select Custom Production.

NOTE: YouTube and Vimeo are NOT options with the Camtasia quiz feature. Screencast.com is Techsmith’s own platform, but they do have file size/hosting limits.

Step 9: Now select the format in which to save the video produced. Save it as the recommended MP4 Smart Player and click Next.



Step 10: Leave the default settings on all tabs, but do make sure that your captions are enabled from the last tab titled Options. Click on the Next button several more times:

Step 11: Select the option to receive quiz results through email, and uncheck the Report quiz results using SCORM.

Type in your email address. You can also store viewer’s information by selecting the “Require viewers to input name

& email address” option. Click the Next button.



Step 12: You can name and save your video where you want to on your computer. Click the Finish button to complete the output.

Step 13: To put your video on Canvas, go to your course and to the files area. Click on + Folder to create a separate folder first and then click on Upload. Choose all the files that were saved into the location where the video was produced.



Step 14: Put your new video on a content page in Canvas somewhere that makes sense. On the screenshot below, I’m creating a new page titled “Quiz” for week 1 of my course.

Click on the Module’s icon to add something:

Choose Content Page from the drop down and click Add Item:

Step 15: Once the page is created, click the Edit option. With the edit window open you can navigate the files->course files on the right side of your screen. Browse to the folder you uploaded and select the file, which has _player.html extension on the file name. We can see the file name being displayed on the page area once selected. Click on Save & Publish.



Step 16: On the page that was created, we can see the link to the video. Click on it to play the video.

Step 17: Add your name and e-mail address to take the quiz.

Step 18: Once we see the lecture video skip to “Take Quiz Now” option.



Step 19: If the “Viewer can see answers after submitting” option was enabled, quiz takers will be able to check their responses. Once they are done with the quiz, they select the View Answers option.

Step 20: Within 24 hours, an email will be sent to the recipient email id previously entered (e.g., instructor’s email address). It will include a quiz summary and attachments with detailed scores and statistics.
