Important Considerations

  • Kaltura Video Quizzes are best suited for low-stakes assessments and knowledge checks rather than high-stakes exams.
  • Kaltura Video Quizzes are not compatible with Respondus Monitor or Examity.
  • Only objective question types, such as multiple-choice and true/false questions, can be automatically graded.
  • The total points assigned to the video quiz are distributed equally among the gradable questions.
