Creating a Canvas Assignment Using a Kaltura Video Quiz
- Log into canvas.umn.edu and navigate to a Canvas course where you wish to use a Kaltura Video Quiz.
- In the Assignments tab, select + Assignment. Do not enter an assignment name or number of points yet, you will do that later.
- Note: You may enter text and links in the assignment description rich text editor, but when creating an assignment with a Kaltura Video Quiz, do not use the Add Media Using Kaltura button.
- Select External Tool as the Submission Type, then select Find. The Configure External Tool window appears.
- In the Configure External Tool window, select Kaltura Video Quiz.
- The Link Resource from External Tool window appears. Scroll the list of Kaltura Video Quizzes and select </> Embed next to the video quiz you wish to use for the assignment.
- Note: By default, when students play a Kaltura Video Quiz, they cannot access the chapter navigation or transcript viewer features that are available in most other experiences in Kaltura. This is on purpose because students would be able to "look ahead" in those features to find answers to questions. If you want to make chapter navigation and the transcript viewer available for students, on this screen:
- Select the Embed Settings (gear) icon to the right of the video quiz you wish to use for the assignment. The Embed Settings page appears.
- In the Choose Player menu select Transcript and chapter navigation enabled
- Consider unchecking the checkbox for Set as my default settings for media type: Quiz
- Select </> Embed

Understanding How Scores are Calculated
True/False and Multiple Choice questions are auto-graded and factored into the score sent to the Canvas Gradebook.
Reflection Points and Open-Ended questions are not factored into the score. Because there is no preview available in SpeedGrader for Video Quizzes, you must use Kaltura Analytics to read entries and adjust the score manually in the Canvas Gradebook.
The score sent to the Canvas Gradebook is a percent value, which is applied to the total points on the assignment.
- Example: 3 of 4 questions answered correctly is 75%. If the assignment is worth 10 points, 7.5 points are recorded in the Canvas Gradebook.
Using a Kaltura Video Quiz as an Extra Credit Assignment
If you plan to use a Kaltura Video Quiz for extra credit, give the assignment a point value but place it in a weighted assignment group.
