Interactive Video

Unveiling the biggest product update ever in Deck.Toys – The Interactive Video Feature!

What can you do with this new feature?

• Embed, search and trim YouTube videos
• Prevent students from skipping forward the video
• Check students’ understanding & Engage with interactive Slide Apps, even in 360^o videos
• Integrate video with Slide Activities

Let’s take a look in detail!

Embed, Search & Trim

To start using this feature, you will need to add a Slide & Video Activity into the Map and enter this Activity. Click on the button ‘Interactive Video’ to embed a YouTube video.

Then, you can key in a YouTube link directly in the search box, or use the in-built search function to find relevant videos for your lessons. Narrow your search by filtering to either Khan Academy, National Geographic, Numberphile, TED or CrashCourse. Click ‘Select Video’ at the bottom right of the screen.

Click on ‘Trim / Edit Video‘ to allow you to edit length or skip over different areas of the video by dragging the marker.

Prevent Skipping

Enabling the button ‘Prevent video skipping’ is a great way to ensure your students do not just skip forward the video to the next activity. This forces them to view the entire video before they can proceed.

Check Understanding & Engage 

For formative assessments, you can use the Lock Slide App and the MCQ Slide App, placed at checkpoints anywhere within the video. You can also engage your students with a multitude of interactive Slide Apps, such as Quick Poll, Draw, Text, Placemarker, Photo, Upload and Voice Slide Apps! Use the Web Link Slide App at any point of the marker onto the video image to provide more information or context to students who may need extra reference.

Simply drag the marker to the time at which you want the Slide App to appear on the video, then drag the Slide App to the video image.

If you are using a 360^o video, move/rotate the video image to the position that you would like to place the Slide App.

Integrate Video with Slide Activities

You can easily add in your own Slides or additional notes in between the video viewing by adding a new Slide with the + button on the top left of the page to increase student understanding, seamlessly integrating the Video and the Slide Activity in one location.

Alternatively, you could use the Split Video function such that the students will automatically be brought to the next second of the video seamlessly at the next activity. You can then insert another Slide in between these video clips, with your own PowerPoint, PDF or Doc files.

Integrating Video and Slide Activities within Deck.Toys will surely be an amazing and enriching lesson for your students! This deck gives you an idea how a 7 minute video is transformed into a Learning Paths for Lesson Adventures.
