FeedbackFruits Interactive Video
Purpose
Interactive Video is designed to make video and audio-based learning more active. Instead of only watching or listening, students engage with the material through questions and discussion prompts linked to specific points in the video timeline.
This makes it easier for teachers to encourage interaction, check understanding, and prompt discussion around the content. The tool can also support flipped teaching by asking students to watch a recording, answer questions, and take part in discussion before class, so that class time can be used to explore the topic in more depth.
Teachers can also allow students to add their own comments or start discussion threads at points in the video, which can further increase participation and learner autonomy.
