SA1421: TedEd Assessment Example

Assessment: http://ed.ted.com/on/q5eU4KuY
I created an assessment using TedEd (http://ed.ted.com/) which allows you to build a video assessment around any TedEd original, Ted Talk, or YouTube video.  The purpose of this particular assessment would be used as an introduction to matrices and matrix operations in an online finite math class.  A link to the assessment would be posted on the discussion board.  Students would follow the link to watch a TedEd original video (just under five minutes long) and then answer five multiple choice and two short answer questions.  Students log-in to the TedEd site so that the instructor can track student activity, scores, and offer feedback.
The TedEd original videos come with some pre-written questions, but instructors can modify these questions or write their own in either a free response or multiple choice format (15 question limit).  There are also links to additional resources for students to dig deeper into the topics mentioned.  While there are some great Ted videos available, another way to use this would be to create your own video using a free program like Screencast-o-matic, upload to YouTube, and then create a TedEd lesson using your own video and creating assessment questions.  I first heard about TedEd in another ION course, but this is my first time actually trying it out.
