Tools within Camtasia allow you to create interactive quizzes inside of the videos you create. You can use these quizzes to emphasize key points, check for student completion of your videos, and/or to assess student learning of the covered content. If you want a record of student performance, quiz scores can be accessed by a nightly email and/or uploaded directly into Blackboard Learn.

Creating Camtasia Quizzes

Complete your movie before adding your quiz

Use the Camtasia Studios editing tool to make all desired changes to your recording before adding your quiz. This includes making cuts, adding alternate audio/video tracks, and adding video effects such as callouts. Inserting the quiz before editing is complete can complicate your recording’s timeline.

Turn on Quiz view

on the Cog Icon on the far left of your recording’s timeline

http://www.itap.purdue.edu/learning



In the resulting dropdown menu, Show Quiz view

This will add a Quiz track to your timeline and will also make the Quizzing tab available on the editing ribbon

Place quiz

Create quiz questions

There are two options to the left of the Quizzing screen under Quiz options:

i) Score quiz: Check this box if you would like your questions to be graded automatically. You will not see options for Answers (as described below) if this box is not checked.

ii) Viewer can see answers after submitting: Check this box if you would like your students to be able to review their answers and the correct answers immediately after the quiz.

Under Question options, the Question type that matches what you want to ask for Question 1. Your choices are: Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank, Short Answer, and True/False.




In the Question box, on the default text for Question 1 and in the text you want for the first question.

and then . Repeat the process to add additional choices. the check-box by the correct answer.

ii) Fill in the Blank: in acceptable answers in the Answers box. Capitalization does not matter though spelling does. Provide as many acceptable answers as needed. To be counted correct, the student’s answer must exactly match one of the acceptable answers you have provided.

iii) Short Answer: This type of question cannot be graded automatically and is not included in the quiz score. Answers provided by students can only be accessed if you later choose to receive email reports of grades (though this may be a FERPA violation and is not recommended)

this process for as many questions as you would like to include at this point in your recording by clicking Add question and repeating the above process.

You may add more than one quiz on the quiz timeline. You can edit any quiz by on that quiz’s marker on the Quiz timeline.

If you want the scores to be recorded in Blackboard, the grading will be based on the total amount of questions in all quizzes on the timeline.




Due to rounding settings in Blackboard, it is suggested that you use an even number of questions in your video. Use of odd numbers may result in irregular quiz scores. For example, if you use 3 questions worth 15 points total, Blackboard may report the score of two correct answers as 9.9 instead of 10 due to rounding.
