For the past few months, I’ve been building a tool, Quizbi, that lets anyone create and take quizzes on videos online. The goal is to help people learn more effectively from content that already exists on places like YouTube.
I’ve toyed with this concept for a while now, but the pandemic presented a clearer reason to go and build it. Two observations in particular encouraged me to give this a try.
The first is that remote learning (or any learning for that matter) is really hard for students, their parents, and educators. It’s not uncommon for students to disengage and fall behind. Parents, already stretched thin, have little time to help with their children’s studies.
The second is that most people enjoy watching online videos and they’ve only watched more during the lockdowns. These videos, educational ones included, are by nature engaging and entertaining. Most are optimized for views, likes, and subscribes.
Quizbi puts these well-crafted videos in front of students and gives structure to them. Students receive immediate feedback on their quizzes and can review past results. For an added challenge, quiz takers can also try to submit their own questions that may show up in future quizzes.
I’d love to hear your feedback on Quizbi and ideas for how you might use this. And if there’s a topic you’re passionate about, please come and create a quiz!
