PlayPosit
What is PlayPosit?
PlayPosit is an interactive video platform used to make video-based learning more interactive. These videos, which PlayPosit calls "bulbs," are embedded inside courses and appear as ordinary videos. However, as viewers watch the video, inserted interactions pause and may prompt the reader to pay special attention to certain aspects of the video. These interactions may include pop-up questions, peer discussions, and more that viewers engage with before proceeding.
