Edpuzzle

Principal function(s): Quiz/exercise makers

Edpuzzle is an educational tool that allows teachers to create interactive video lessons for their students. It works by enabling teachers to upload or import videos (for example, from Youtube), add customised questions, comments, and voiceovers at specific points in the video, and track students' progress and comprehension. Edpuzzle was developed by a team of educators and technologists. While Edpuzzle offers a free version, it also provides premium features as part of a paid subscription model. Signing up for an account is required to use Edpuzzle. Evaluation: Edpuzzle is a helpful and easy-to-use tool that can be used both for classroom activities and homework assignments. By editing videos, adding questions to them, and more, teachers can engage students, assess their understanding, and personalise their learning experiences. Creators can also see whether students have actually completed the assignments. Edpuzzle can aid in language acquisition by bolstering listening comprehension. It is also very suitable for pupils who are more embracing of visual learning methods.

Cost: Free + premium plans available
