See below for questions, and instruction sheets for students

1. Create a Playposit account (free) at https://www.playposit.com/ click on join to create account.
2. Click on Create, then class.
3. Name your class, then click create.
4. Click on “new”, then “bulb” (bulb is the term Playposit uses for the video with embedded questions).
5. Enter URL for first video, then click “add”.
6. Follow the instructions to add the questions listed below for each video by clicking on the menu square, then add question by selecting type of question, then adding text for that question. Make sure you click on save to save each question.
7. When done, click on “settings” (gear) then click save/done. The bulb will then appear in your list.
8. To move bulb to your class, click on the link for the bulb in Playposit, then monitor, then assign to a class. Select the due date for the bulb, then save, then the second save.
9. Import bulb into your learning management system (LMS), by clicking on the “share” icon to the right of the bulb. Make sure that you do NOT select “do not require viewers to authenticate” and “share ungraded”. Leaving both of these unchecked will require students to enter their names at the start of the video, and allows their answers to be saved and graded.
10. Consult with your instructional designer for their preference to share the bulbs in your LMS. Sharing the URL tends to be more universal, but depending on the LMS, it may play better with the embed code.
11. You may want to create a practice Playposit to demonstrate to the students how this works. For example, I found a YouTube video of my school’s marching band playing at a football game. Within the first minute of the video, I inserted the question “what instrument would you like to play if you were in a marching band?” I leave it as a free response. Once this Playposit bulb is created, I load it into the course so students can see how it appears in the LMS, how to access it, how to enter their name, answer a question, and then proceed with watching the video.
