What is PlayPosit?
Playposit is a tool that helps instructors create engaging content by adding real-time questions and interactions to their videos. The interactive learning platform allows students to stream videos online and engage in unique learning experiences, individually or with each other. Using video from YouTube, Canvas Studio, or other sources, instructors can add images, text, or a variety of quiz questions, share the lesson with their students for completion, and then monitor student activity and engagement through the analytics collected by the platform.
