About
PlayPosit takes a passive experience, like watching a video, and makes it more interactive for you as the learner. The interactions are embedded throughout the video, varying from multiple choice questions, true/false statements, reflective pauses, polls and discussions. This gives you an opportunity to engage with the video while reflecting on your gained knowledge from the lesson.
Get Started
If your course is using PlayPosit, bulbs (the interactive videos) should be embedded in the D2L course site where you can access them.
-
Play the bulb
Press the playback button and watch the bulb like any streamed video.
-
Respond to the interactions
When the video automatically pauses, you will be prompted to complete an interaction, which could be questions, polls, discussions, and so on.
-
Complete the bulb
Remember to watch the bulb to the end in order to get credit for completing it.
