What is a learner made bulb?
Learner-Made Bulbs (LMBs) are a great way to empower learners to become the instructor. Learners have access to the full power of the PlayPosit Designer, including uploading their own videos and embedding all question types. Use this feature to:
- Review projects where learners create their own questions on video already seen.
- Have learners create their own video and add interactions to increase engagement.
- Record a learner's presentation and have them reflect on their performance with comments.
PlayPosit 3.0 introduces the ability for learners to share their bulbs with other learners (for Pro instructors) and provide instructors who are part of an Institutional License the ability for their learners to participate in Peer Review scenarios.
The instructor's experience
Creating a learner made bulb assignment
From My Bulbs, click the arrow icon next to Add New Bulb, then select Add Learner Made Bulb.- The Peer Review Assignment functionality is only available to instructors who are part of an institutional license. To learn more about peer review, click here to use peer review with an LMS or click here to use peer review without an LMS.
- Instructors can also reuse the existing Learner Made Bulb assignment by clicking on the thumbnail of the Bulb and selecting Copy to create a copied version of the LMB.
- The Add Learner Made Bulb dialog will appear, enter a Title.
- (Optional) Enter a Learning Objective/Instructions. If nothing is added, PlayPosit will show a set of general instructions to learners to inform them how to complete the assignment.
- (Optional) Click Advanced settings to specially configure the Learner Made Bulb.
- Pro users and Institutional users will see options to:
- Set Points - This is how many points the LMB assignment will be worth.
- Allow learners to use private video hosts - If toggled on, learners can use private video hosts like Kaltura, Panopto, Zoom, Canvas studio, and Yuja. If toggled off, learners can only use public or unlisted Youtube or Vimeo videos to build their learner made bulbs.
- Allow learners to upload video files - If toggled on, learners can directly upload any video file to the Designer to use as a video source, but it will be counted against the Pro instructor's 100-minute quota, or the institution's total quota (depending on the institution's hosting package).
- Enable peer review - This option is only available for users with an institutional license. If toggled on, the LMB assignment will turn into a peer review assignment. Peer review bulbs allow learners to evaluate each others' submissions.
- Enable complete/incomplete grading - If toggled on, when learners submit their LMBs in the Designer, they will automatically receive full points.
IMPORTANT NOTES: If allowing learners to use Kaltura as their video host, they will be directed to the instructor's Kaltura account. If the instructor would like to adjust this behavior and direct learners to their own Kaltura account, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
