Decide what finishing a video actually requires, from a watch threshold to answered questions and a posted comment. Annoto tracks it for every learner and writes the grade to your LMS gradebook through LTI, verified by the Reliable Grade Sync System.
A play event fires the moment the first second streams, and says nothing at all about what happened next.
Video progress, participation in comments and quizzes, or any mix of the two.
RGSS syncs the result with built-in LMS verification on every write.
The Assessment Criteria Library applies a set course-wide or to specific videos.
Pass-back works on Assignments, Discussions and Pages, wherever the work belongs.
Completion rules are built in the Assessment Criteria Library inside the Annoto dashboard, then applied through Assessment Setup at course level or to a specific video. Learners see where they stand in the same player they watch in, and the gradebook column fills itself.
The Assessment Criteria Library ships with pre-defined criteria you can apply as they are or tailor to the course, and every set you save is available to any course you teach. Assessment Setup then applies the chosen criteria at course level or on specific videos, so a survey course can run one rule across every recording while a lab section keeps a stricter threshold on the one video that matters. Interactive walkthroughs for creating video activity completion criteria and applying them are available in the Annoto docs.
Video work shapes behaviour when it counts, and counting it fairly means measuring the work rather than the play.
Video Activity Completion, the Assessment Criteria Library and the Reliable Grade Sync System work as one workflow: define the rule, apply it, and let the gradebook take care of itself.
Track how much of the timeline each learner actually covered and mark the activity complete once the watch threshold you set is met.
Count comments, replies, quiz answers and discussion activity toward completion, so the activity asks for engagement rather than viewing alone.
Start from pre-defined criteria, customize them to the course, then save and reuse the set across courses and semesters.
Apply a criteria set to every video in a course through Assessment Setup, or override it for one video that needs a different rule.
Grades reach the LMS from Assignments, Discussions and Pages, so graded video fits wherever your course design places it.
Scores update the LMS gradebook in real time, with built-in LMS verifications that confirm each write and remove manual-entry errors.
Update criteria or questions after learners have started. Annoto handles the gradebook update, and a resync button forces a refresh when one is needed.
Reports on video activity completion are generated automatically, and the course Users table exports as CSV for grading and review.
The same criteria set behaves differently depending on the course around it. These are the patterns that come up most often.
The in-person session only works if the pre-class video was watched. A watch threshold plus two required questions makes preparation dependable across hundreds of students, and the gradebook shows who arrived ready before the instructor walks in.
Policy, safety and onboarding modules need a record that holds up. Progress-based criteria produce a per-learner completion record that lives in the LMS alongside every other requirement, with the viewing evidence behind it.
Weekly completion criteria give self-paced learners a visible finish line and a reason to keep pace. The resulting record of assessed, timestamped interaction also supports documentation of regular and substantive interaction for online programs.
Learning teams roll the same video curriculum out to many groups. Criteria saved in the library keep completion rules identical between cohorts and managers, and completion status is one CSV export away from the reporting stack.
No separate grading tool and no spreadsheet. The whole loop runs between the Annoto dashboard, the player and your LMS.
In the Assessment Criteria Library, set the watch threshold, the questions that must be answered, the participation you expect and the weight of each. Start from a pre-defined template or build your own, then save it for reuse.
Use Assessment Setup to apply the criteria to every video in the course or to one video that needs its own rule, and connect it to the LMS activity: an Assignment, a Discussion or a Page. Learners see the rule from the first play.
As learners watch and respond, Annoto tracks progress and the Reliable Grade Sync System writes the grade to the gradebook in real time, verifying each write with the LMS. Edit the criteria later and the gradebook follows.
Every completion activity feeds the Annoto dashboard at course, video and user level. The Users Activity table sorts by any column, the User View opens a completion funnel for one learner, and the Assessment tab shows how the graded activity went for the whole cohort.
Manual grade entry breaks trust and creates disputes. RGSS syncs completion and quiz scores to the LMS gradebook automatically and in real time, with built-in LMS verifications that confirm each write instead of assuming it worked. The result is a gradebook that matches what learners actually did in the video, without anyone exporting, reformatting or retyping anything.
