Add graded questions to any video in a Canvas course. Annoto installs once as an LTI 1.3 tool, the quiz appears on the timeline inside modules and assignments, and scores pass straight into the Canvas gradebook.
An interactive video quiz in Canvas is a set of questions pinned to timestamps on a video inside a Canvas module or assignment. Playback pauses at each one, the student answers, sees feedback and continues. Annoto adds the quiz through a standard LTI 1.3 tool your admin installs once, so there is no plugin to maintain and no separate account for anyone to create.
The video can run through Canvas Studio, Kaltura, Panopto, YouTube, Vimeo or any embedded player, and the quiz layer appears in the same place with the same controls. Instructors write questions in the player or let Lumo, Annoto's AI copilot, draft them. Multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, fill in the blank and open-ended questions all work. The full authoring flow is on the in-video quizzes page.
Your Canvas admin adds Annoto as an LTI 1.3 tool, in a test or beta environment first if you prefer, then enables it per subaccount. Sign-on, roster and sections come along automatically, and an older LTI 1.1 placement can keep working while you migrate.
Open the video in a module or assignment, pause at the moment a concept has just been explained and drop a question, or review Lumo's draft. Choose pop-up or docked layout, graded or practice mode, then preview and publish.
Quiz scores and completion pass back through LTI Advantage grade services, so a graded video shows up in the gradebook like any other assignment. The Reliable Grade Sync System confirms each write.
Authoring, layout, feedback, reuse and grade sync are all built into the player your learners already use. No separate quiz builder, no export step.
Multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, fill in the blank and open-ended. Each question can carry points, feedback, retries, a time limit and shuffled answers.
Interrupt playback with a pop-up for a must-answer checkpoint, or dock the question beside the side panel so learners keep watching while they respond.
Learners see whether they were right the moment they answer, with the instructor's explanation while the context is still on screen.
Require an answer before playback continues, so the key moments are never skipped at double speed.
Versioning lets you fix a question after it is live. Changes sync automatically, with no re-upload.
Copy a quiz from one course to another, including Blueprint copies, so an assessment built once scales across sections and terms.
As ungraded content in a module, or as a graded assignment when participation should count. Because completion reports back to Canvas, module requirements and prerequisites work as expected: a course can require finishing the week's lecture, quiz included, before the next module unlocks.
One LTI 1.3 installation. Most administrators complete it in a single sitting, run one sandbox course through embedding a video, taking a quiz and checking the grade column, then enable the tool for a pilot subaccount and widen at term boundaries. Annoto supports LTI 1.1 and 1.3, so the upgrade happens on the admin's schedule.
Through standard LTI Advantage grade pass-back, with no CSV export and no manual re-entry. The grade a student earns in the video is the grade in the gradebook column for that activity. Completion can carry a grade of its own in Canvas, which is how many programs award participation credit for video work. Practice-mode quizzes stay out of the gradebook.
Yes. Annoto sits on top of the player rather than replacing it, so Canvas Studio, Kaltura, Panopto, YouTube and Vimeo embeds all carry the same quiz layer. If you are weighing Studio's built-in quizzing against Annoto, the Annoto vs Canvas Studio page walks through the difference.
Lumo watches the course video and drafts questions at every level of Bloom's taxonomy, from quick recall to create-level tasks. You review, edit and publish. A back catalogue becomes assessable in an afternoon rather than a semester.
Every answer feeds a live assessment view for each learner and for the whole cohort, and the Reliable Grade Sync System pushes scores to the gradebook and verifies each write.
