Launch of AI-suggested interactive questions for YouTube videos in Classroom
Announcement
Hi everyone,
We're excited to announce the launch of Youtube AI-suggested questions for Classroom!
What’s changing
Last year, interactive questions for YouTube videos in Google Classroom were introduced. Since then, educators have been able to turn a passive watching experience into an engaging one, while improving students’ understanding of a subject.
The current process to create interactive questions requires an educator to manually choose a timestamp, come up with questions, and insert correct answers and distractors. To improve upon this experience and save educators time, we’re introducing AI-suggested questions that educators can easily attach to the video based on its content.
Before assigning the interactive video activity, Educators will be able to edit the suggested questions ahead of attaching the YouTube video to the assignment.
