The In-Video Learning Glossary
Plain-language definitions for the terms that shape how video becomes an active, assessed part of your course — from in-video quizzes to engagement analytics.
Plain-language definitions for the terms that shape how video becomes an active, assessed part of your course — from in-video quizzes to engagement analytics.
Video enriched with clickable, in-player elements — quizzes, comments, or annotations — that let learners respond and engage while watching, rather than only viewing passively.
A short, scored question that appears at a specific timestamp within a video, checking understanding of the material just shown before the learner continues.
A low-stakes check for understanding — such as an in-video quiz or reflection — used to monitor learning and give feedback while a course is still in progress, rather than at its end.
A comment, note, or quiz question anchored to an exact moment in a video's timeline, so feedback and discussion stay tied to the specific content being viewed.
Data on how learners interact with video — including attention heatmaps, completion, drop-off, and comprehension — that shows instructors where students engage or disengage.
A structured viewing experience where instructor-placed prompts, questions, or annotations direct learners' attention to key moments as a video plays.
Learning Tools Interoperability 1.3, the current 1EdTech standard that lets an external tool like Annoto connect securely to an LMS such as Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, or Brightspace.
Describes a tool that layers onto any existing video or video player without requiring content to be migrated, re-hosted, or re-encoded first.
A learning technique of actively retrieving information from memory, such as answering an in-video quiz, rather than passively re-reading or re-watching material.
Learning that happens through interaction with peers and instructors, such as discussion threads, comments, and peer review attached directly to video content.
Recording whether and how much of a video a learner has watched, often synced back to the LMS gradebook as part of course progress.
Recording a short video response and posting it as a comment, allowing learners and instructors to reply to video content in kind rather than with text alone.
A teaching framework built around offering multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression, so video-based learning is accessible to the widest range of learners from the start.
A structured process where learners assess or comment on each other's video submissions or contributions, often guided by instructor-set criteria.
These aren't just definitions — they're the building blocks Annoto uses to turn ordinary video into an active, assessed part of your course.
