playposit
Usability:
Playposit, formerly known as eduCanon, is very easy to use. First-time users are led through the features and shown how to create their first "bulb". There are also several tutorial videos and articles to help users navigate and use the tool.
Motivation:
Playposit seems to be a great alternative to Zaption and Edpuzzle. It is a great tool for assessments and checking for understanding. It is also a great tool for helping students strengthen their listening skills. With the paid version, students can also create their own bulbs which could be another great assessment method.
Pros:
- Offers a free version
- Paid version is still less than $100 per year
- Offers an extensive library of pre-made "bulbs" or users can create their own
- Accepts videos from YouTube, Vimeo, TeacherTube, Shmoop, Google Drive, School Tube and other services
Cons:
- Free version offers limited features
Usability:
Vizia is extremely easy to use. Simply upload a video from YouTube or Wistia and add questions; it's that easy. For those who need help their are tutorial videos and articles that explain how to use it.
Motivation:
Vizia is a great alternative to zaption. It could be used for assessment or checking for understanding. It offers a much more engaging experience for students than simply answering questions on a worksheet.
Pros:
- 100% free
- responses are collected in a spreadsheet that can be opened in Google Sheets
Cons:
- Videos can only be uploaded from YouTube or Wistia, so somewhat limited
