How Do I Create and Edit Interactive Video Quizzes in Kaltura?

The Kaltura Video Quiz tool enables instructors to provide students with online quizzes defined by the Instructor and custom-tailored to the needs of the students.

Expand All    Collapse All

Grading Feature

You can add a quiz to any video using the Kaltura Video Quiz creation tool in MyMedia. Once created, video quizzes can be embedded anywhere in your Canvas course—just like any other media item.

You can also automatically send quiz scores to the Gradebook, using Canvas Assignments.

How to Add a Kaltura Video Quiz to the Canvas Gradebook

To automatically send Kaltura Video Quiz scores to the Canvas Gradebook, you must add the quiz using the Kaltura Video Quiz external tool in an Assignment.

  1. Go to your Canvas course and click Assignments > + Assignment.

  2. Enter a title and optional instructions for the assignment.

  3. Under Submission Type, select External Tool.

  4. Click Find, then choose Kaltura Video Quiz from the list.

  5. From the My Media pop-up, select the video quiz you want to assign.

  6. Set the points, due date, and other grading settings.

  7. Click Save (or Save & Publish).

Note: Embedding a Kaltura quiz using "MyMedia" or "Rich Content Editor>Kaltura Media" will not send grades to the Canvas Gradebook — you must use the Assignments > External Tool method for grading integration.

You will now see a new column created in the grade center and scores will populate as students complete the video quiz.

How to View Quiz Results
To view aggregated and individual quiz results, go to MyMedia and select the quiz to go to its page. Below the video preview, click the Actions button and select Analytics.

Attention: Kaltura Quizzes Allow Only One Attempt per Student

Kaltura video quizzes only allow one attempt per student per video, regardless of any settings you apply in Canvas.

What this means:
  • Once a student submits a Kaltura quiz, it is locked for that student.

  • Clearing or resetting the attempt in the Canvas Grade Center will not allow the student to retake the quiz.

  • The “Multiple Attempts” setting you may see in Kaltura Quiz creation tool does not override this restriction when using Kaltura inside Canvas.
