How to add interactions to an interactive video in ANVILL in Canvas

Overview

This page explains how to add and edit interactive elements in a video you've already uploaded into an Interactive Video activity in ANVILL.

To learn instead how to add an Interactive Video activity to your ANVILL lesson and add your video to it (upload a file, embed a URL, or record within ANVILL), please see our designated How to Create an Interactive Video in ANVILL page.

Procedure

1. Open the editor screen for the Interactive Video activity you want to edit in ANVILL. You can do this by clicking on the pencil icon in the circle by your activity title. 
   

2. Click Edit in the menu that opens.
3. Once your editor screen opens, click on the Step 2: Add Interactions tab.
   
4. Move the slider below the video to the moment you want the interaction to appear. Once you have, click on the interactive element you want to add at that moment.
5. When adding an interactive element, please note you can choose make the video pause for your viewer when it reaches your interaction by selecting Pause Video. If you select this, the video will pause & not continue until your student engages with the interaction.
6. Write in the End Time under the Display Time markers. This will determine the moment your interaction disappears from the video screen. Note: The Start Time marker will already be set based on where you placed the slider in Step 4.
7. Complete the steps required by the specific interactive element you have added.
8. Once you have added all desired interactions, click on the  icon to save your work and exit.
