Add graded questions to any video in a Moodle course. Annoto installs once as an LTI 1.3 external tool, the quiz appears on the timeline inside the activity, and scores land in the Moodle gradebook without exports.
An interactive video quiz in Moodle is a set of questions pinned to timestamps on a video inside a Moodle activity. Playback pauses at each one, the student answers, sees feedback and continues. Annoto adds the quiz as an LTI 1.3 activity, so it sits in a section beside forums and assignments, follows your weekly or topics format, and can be duplicated, backed up and restored with the rest of the course.
The video can come from anywhere Moodle already serves it: files in Moodle, Kaltura, Panopto, YouTube, Vimeo or your streaming server. Instructors write questions in the player or let Lumo, Annoto's AI copilot, draft them from the video. 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 Moodle admin registers Annoto as an external tool. One configuration covers every course on the site, whether Moodle is self-hosted or on MoodleCloud, and sign-on and roles come along automatically. There is nothing to compile and no core code to patch.
Add the Annoto activity to a section, point it at the video, and drop questions at the moments that matter, or review Lumo's draft. Choose pop-up or docked layout, graded or practice mode, then preview and publish.
Each graded activity arrives as a normal gradebook item that can live in a category and carry a weight. Quiz scores sync automatically through LTI 1.3, verified by the Reliable Grade Sync System.
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.
In Moodle terms, Annoto behaves like any other activity. It sits in a section, follows your course format, and moves like any other block when you reorganise between semesters. With restrict access rules you can gate a follow-up assignment until the video activity is complete, which turns a recording from optional background material into a defined step in the learning path.
Students and teachers arrive authenticated through Moodle's own sign-on, with roles carried across: teachers author and moderate, non-editing teachers get the permissions you would expect, students answer. Nobody creates a second account or resets a password for a tool they did not know they had.
Keep the video-engagement grade small but real. Grade quiz scores on accuracy, and if you also use a watch threshold for activity completion, keep the two in separate categories so a course leader can see whether a struggling student has a watching problem or an understanding problem. Practice-mode quizzes stay out of the gradebook entirely.
No. The same layer rides on top of Kaltura, Panopto, YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia and files served from Moodle itself, and switching a video source later does not lose the quiz or its results. Setup steps for registration, course configuration and gradebook mapping are at docs.annoto.net.
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.
