How Can Teachers Use Video to Make Assessment More Interactive
Bring more interaction and engagement to your assessments with Canvas Studio. You can upload and edit videos with built-in captioning to make your materials more accessible and dynamic. Students record and annotate their own videos directly in Studio, then submit them for you to review in SpeedGrader. From there, you can mark work and share personalised feedback, all in one place. With Canvas Studio, video becomes a powerful tool for interactive assessment and authentic learning.

Once our file has been uploaded, a few things will occur. By clicking into the video itself, we can view that captions were automatically generated in English according to what was said during the video. We can open these up and modify these captions as we need to correct any potential mistakes, but this is a great way for us to both timestamp and caption all the content directly on the screen. If we wanted to come back to the video and create some annotations, we can edit the video directly by editing media where we can cut and trim components of the course. So we can create cut marks or we can create trim marks and remove components and lightly edit before we upload. But we can leverage these changes both as a teacher and as a student.
So coming into our submission here, if I view this as a student, so impersonating a student now, students will actually receive access to the studio tool directly at the bottom submission pane where they can either upload a video ahead of time, edit this video, annotate this video, and submit directly to the location, then choose this video to embed directly. Or they can record themselves creating this video directly on the fly, screen capturing either audio or video as part of that submission portal as well. Once they submit, teachers will actually see the video presented to them within the SpeedGrader. So this allows them to both view the video itself. They can attach comments, and they can use that video as part of assessment feedback, grading with a rubric, setting the status like a traditional assessment would and providing our overall comments. Really powerful way to bring and embed our video content directly into the front end both from a student's and a teacher's perspective.
