What is Zaption?
Zaption is an edtech software designed for interactive video lessons. It allows teachers to import or record a video, then embed interactive elements such as questions, quizzes, discussions, and more throughout the video to promote active learning.
Some key features of Zaption include:
- Importing videos from YouTube, Vimeo, media libraries, or webcam recordings
- Inserting a wide variety of interactive elements like multiple choice questions, open-ended questions, images, web links, discussions, and surveys
- Gathering analytics on student responses and engagement
- Easy sharing to Google Classroom or LMS systems
- Collaboration tools for teachers
- Accessibility features and support
By making videos interactive, Zaption aims to boost student participation, prompt reflection, check for understanding, provide quick feedback to teachers, and ultimately create a more engaging learning experience compared to passive video watching.
It's used in K-12 schools, higher education institutions, corporations, and government organizations. Subjects commonly using Zaption include humanities, sciences, languages, professional development, and workforce training.
