How do I assign a video lesson?

You can either assign each video individually or assign multiple videos at once. Here's how:

    1. Click on your "My Content" library from the menu on the left-hand side of your page.
    2. Check the box(es) below the video(s) you wish to assign.
    3. Select "Assign" from the bottom menu.
    4. Choose the class(es) you want to assign the video to. By default, the video(s) will be assigned to all the students in your selected class(es), including any students who may join your class(es) in the future. 
        • If you only want to assign the video to certain students in a class, use the "Student" drop-down next to the class name to select those students. (Please note that this option isn't available for LMS-integrated classes.) 
    5. Click the "Next" button at the top of the page.
    6. Add a start date and due date (if necessary).
    7. Choose if you want to prevent skipping by toggling the switch for this option On or Off.
    8. Use the drop-down under "Attempts" to select the number of attempts you'd like to offer students to complete the assignment.
    9. If the video has closed captions added, you’ll have the option to enable or disable those captions using the On or Off toggle switch for this option.
        • Closed-captioning is available for any YouTube videos on Edpuzzle that have been originally captioned within YouTube, as well as for Edpuzzle Originals and most teacher-uploaded content.
    10. Choose if you want to allow students to speed up the video lesson(s) by toggling the switch for this option On or Off.
        • When enabled, students will be able to watch videos at 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, or 2 times the normal speed.
        • Students will always be able to watch videos at .5, .75, or 1 times the normal speed, regardless of your choice for this setting.
    11. Click the "Assign" button at the top of the page and you're done!
