Step A: Create your video

Before you can access the authoring tool interface, it is important to first create or select an existing YouTube video on your topic.

Refer to this document for the steps:

Print the step-sheet: How to upload YouTube Video as Unlisted video

Step B: Plan on paper

Plan where in the video you are going to add the interactions and the type of interaction. This planning sheet will assist you with this step:
Print the planning document template

Step C: Add video and interactions

Access your clickUP Ultra module where you want to add the interactive video. Then follow these steps:

On the Course Content page, go to the space where you want to add the interactive content. Click on the Plus (+) sign.
Click on Content Market.
On the Content Market Page, scroll down and select In-Video Assessment (H5P).
The LTI link will launch automatically.

Create content on H5P

When you access this tool the first time, it will send a confirmation code to your email address. Add the code into the space for it and click on Proceed. The authoring tool allows you to add different content types. The HTML5-based ‘Interactive Video’ content type allows users to create videos that are enriched with interactions.

To start creating interactive content, click on Add Content.
To start adding interactions on existing video(s), click on Interactive Videos.
Add the title of the video, this is a mandatory field.

The Interactive video content type consists of three steps:
i. Upload/embed video,
ii. Add interactions and
iii. Summary task

By default, the Upload video tab is displayed when you create a new Interactive video, and this
is what you always want to start off with.

Step 1: Upload/Embed video

Add the video clips that the Interactive video is based on. To Upload/embed video click on the "+"/ plus button.
Copy the URL of the YouTube video and paste in the URL field.

Be aware!

Please do not upload your video directly (use YouTube or other video streaming platforms).

Once the video is uploaded click on Insert.
Click on Edit copyright.
Complete the fields with relevant information. If using a YouTube video that is not created by you, check the license and add the information accordingly.

Step 2: Add interactions

To add the interactivities, click on the tiles (interactive types). The following are the interaction types can be embedded in your videos:

Quiz interaction
Simple interaction (Text, Image, Table)
Adaptivity (Go To)

The following question types may be added to your video:

Single choice question sets
Multiple choice questions with one or more correct answers
True/False
Fill in the blank
Drag and drop
Mark the word activities
Drag and drop text
Crossroads
Free text questions

Please note

All question types can be configured to perform adaptive behavior, meaning that a correct answer could
cause the user to skip to a specified place in the video while an incorrect answer could take the user
somewhere else in the video. Typically, submitting a wrong answer will cause the user to be directed to the place in the video where the answer to the question is presented

Add the question type
For this step sheet you can use these steps to add a Multiple choice question to the video.

To add a multiple-choice question, click on the multiple-choice question button on the tool bar.
Add the display time, this is the time in the video where you want this question to appear.
NB: Tick the Pause video radio button if you want the video to pause at this interval.
Add the label you want to show next to the interaction icon.
Add the question title.
Click on Media to add a media that will display above the question (optional).
Under Question field type the wording of the question.
Add the multiple choice answer options.
Select the correct options using the tick box.
For each option, you can add feedback.
To add more options, click on ADD OPTION.
You can also add overall feedback per score range. To add range, click on ADD RANGE, to distribute the score click on Distribute Evenly.
Carefully select the behavioral settings for the question.
To add adaptivity, click on Adaptively to expand and set the action for the response.
Add the Submit screen.

Importance of the submit screen

The Submit screen is important as this is the place in the video where students must submit their answers for the grades to be captured in clickUP Ultra Gradebook.

Step D: Insert the interactive video in clickUP

Once you are done adding the interactions to the video, go through the additional settings.

How to send the score to the LMS

From the additional settings:

Choose Publish and ensure that the Protected option is selected.
Choose LTI settings and indicate which attempt's grade should be stored to the clickUP Gradebook.

This enables the grades to be synced to the Gradebook of the module where the video is inserted.

Display Options: This will determine how the video will appear once published in clickUP
*** Publish**: Here you select the status for your content, please leave the default setting on Protected setting (Content can be inserted into LMS).
Folder: This helps organise your content in the authoring tool.
Collaborators: This allows you to share your content with other users at the University.
Sharing with organisation: Content shared within organization folders is available for everyone in the organization to view and clone.
LTI settings: This allows you to choose which score will be saved in the clickUP Gradebook
Note: We encourage interactive videos to be only used for formative assessment purposes, not high-stake assessment.
Save and Insert: When you click on save and insert, the interactive video will be inserted in your clickUP module (You still need to edit the settings of the inserted video in clickUP).
Save: This updates the video/content in the H5P platform and takes you to the Preview mode.

After verifying the additional settings, click on Save and Insert. The LTI redirects back to clickUP and the link to the Interactive video will be Visible to Students by default.

Cannot see the interactive video?

If the link does not appear in the content area, refresh your browser by pressing F5 on the keyboard.

Step E: Add instructions in clickUP

After inserting the video to clickUP you will need to update the Maximum points (by default the Maximum points is 10).

Click on the ellipsis.
Click on Edit.
Select Open in new window.
Edit the points to be the same as the number of questions you have added in the video.
Type clear instructions in the description box. Students should know what they need to do with the content. For example: they will be required to answer questions which will appear throughout the video and whether they have multiple or single attempt to answer questions and which attempt will be considered for grading.
Click on Save.
