Edpuzzle and Canvas

[kym_ellis]

Hi, just wondering if I am able to add Edpuzzle as an app to my free teacher account? I cannot seem to get the codes needed to do this as I do not have a valid link without a school  account. If this can't happen - what other ways can I use to ensure students are watching videos?

Hi  @kym_ellis  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

I had a go at embedding Edpuzzle using an iframe generator with no luck. 

BUT I did find these handy instructions that ought to be all you need Using Edpuzzle With Canvas – Edpuzzle Help Center 

Sing out if you need a hand.

Hi Bobby, I tried those instructions, but I get an invalid domain message. As I am not with my school using Canvas I don’t seem to have a domain that works.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for getting back to us.

What a shame. Let me dig into that one for you.

Hi Kym -

Even without the LTI tool, I think you'll find EdPuzzle to be a great resource. I enjoyed using EdPuzzle even before it was "friends" with Canvas. 

I'm not sure which level you teach, but you can create a group in EdPuzzle for each section of students you teach. They can enroll using a Google Email (one less password!) or school email. Then, using the correct group code, they join that "class". You can see the progress of the assigned videos on a class-by-class basis. I like the color-coded progress bars!

Even though it takes some time, if you add questions, you can always enter the scores into the Canvas gradebook manually.
