While grading policies for every learning situation may differ, consider taking advantage of video annotation and quizzing tools that enable students to interact and reflect on video.

While assessing learning resulting from pre- or post-video watching activities, remember that you need not rely on traditional paper-and-pencil approaches.

Assessment Tools & Annotation Tools

• Google Forms / Microsoft Forms – Use this to create a quiz that checks for understanding. MS Forms can also be used to create “entry/exit ticket” type activities.
• Insert Learning - Use this to annotate a web page. You can do any of the following: highlight text, add sticky notes, insert questions, videos, or start a discussion. Search teacher-curated lessons, or view Public Lesson Library. To get started, you will need this Google Chrome browser add-on. Read Kasey Bell's write-up via her blog, Shake Up Learning.
• EdPuzzle – This web-based tool makes it straightforward to add notes and assessments to videos from YouTube, Khan Academy, Learn Zillion, and others. This enables understanding checks. There’s also an iOS app you and/or your students can use. A similar tool is VideoAnt.
• VideoNot.es and TurboNote are two tools that allow you to take notes off to the side of the video.

Video Reflection Tools

In addition, students can also rely on video reflection tools that work similar to discussion boards, but use video instead of text.
