features
Viewer Insights (Analytics)
Monitor student engagement with granular data. Identify “Peaks” where students re-watch complex sections and “Valleys” where they drop off. You can view individual completion rates for every student in your course.
Media Annotations
Add non-graded pop-up overlays during playback. You can link to external PDFs, websites, or provide extra context.
Timestamped Comments
Turn videos into social discussions. Comments are linked to the exact second they are made, ensuring that student questions and peer replies remain contextual.
Studio Capture
Ideal for quick lectures or personalized student feedback. The browser-based recorder allows for immediate uploads to your library with basic “trim and cut” editing.
Interactive Quizzing
Turn passive videos into active assessments. You can embed multiple-choice, true/false, or multiple-answer questions directly into the video timeline. This ensures students are processing information in real-time and provides immediate feedback on their understanding.
