This guide walks instructors through the process of embedding a Kaltura video quiz into a Canvas course. Embedding a video quiz directly into course content can streamline the student experience and integrate assessment seamlessly with learning materials.
Prerequisites
Step-by-Step Instructions
To embed your Kaltura video quiz in Canvas, do the following:

- Enter a name and description for the assignment. Set the point value by clicking on the Points [1] field and entering the desired points.
