Can I send students feedback by video?

You can leave feedback directly on student responses to writing templates and other open-ended questions in the webtext. In addition to written comments, you can also embed video feedback using YouTube, Vimeo, or Kaltura.

Head to Analytics and click on any blue box to view the detailed page view.

Once on the detailed page view, scroll to an open-ended question (response boards, short answers, or writing templates). Then click Add Comment.

Copy the iframe or URL from YouTube, Vimeo, or Kaltura and paste that into the comment field. Click Save Comment.

After clicking Save, you’ll see the video.

Tip: You can also see if a particular student has seen your comment. Once the comment has been added, you’ll see “Unseen” next to the timestamp. As soon as a student sees the comment, it’ll switch to “Seen.”

Students will be notified that you’ve left them feedback, and will be able to see your video comment directly alongside their work on the webtext page.
