Did you know you can add quiz questions directly to the video you have in Canvas Studio? You can add quiz questions to a video you create or added to Studio (like YouTube videos). In addition, you can also decide if you want the quiz questions to also be an assignment with a grade that goes straight to the gradebook!
Below is a quick video showing how to take a video you already have in Studio and add quiz questions and then turn it into an assignment for a grade.
You can provide the link to this guide to your students on how to take a Canvas Studio Video quiz - How do I take a Canvas Studio video quiz in a course as a student?
