With Yuja, you have the ability to do a video quiz. A video quiz is a Yuja video with embedded quiz question that appear as the video plays.

With Yuja, you have the ability to do a video quiz. A video quiz is a Yuja video with embedded quiz question that appear as the video plays. Instructors can add these video quizzes to a Canvas module as a “check for understanding” component or they can be added to the Canvas Gradebook as an Assignment, which stores and score student results on the video quiz. This support guide covers the former (a non-graded video quiz used as a “check for understanding tool”).
In addition to creating video content, Yuja allows you to upload and stream any existing videos from the platform. The system can process several different video file types and compresses each uploaded video to an MP4 for viewing. The system also auto-captions any uploaded video files and instructors can use the Yuja Embed Tool to add those videos to their Canvas course.
Video content in your courses may change from year to year. If you chose to embed videos from your Yuja account into Canvas, you have two options for updating these videos: (1) deleting the current item and creating a new one with the new video or (2) editing the item and replacing the video. Deleting and creating new items may seem like the easier option but that will depend on the complexity of your course and module structure. Rather, this support document focuses on editing the current Canvas item to replace the embedded Yuja content.
If you, as the instructor, wish to control the order in which students watch Yuja video content, you must embed those videos into Canvas rather than using the Yuja course channel (or course navigation item). Yuja videos can be embedded into any item in Canvas that uses the text editor (i.e., Content Pages, Discussions, Assignments, Quizzes, and Announcements).

The following are directions to scheduling these recordings and posting them to Canvas.
