Edpuzzle is an educational tool for creating interactive video lessons. Teachers 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 offers a limited free version and requires having an account for use.
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 is suitable for pupils inclined towards visual learning.
Cost: Free + paid plans available.
