What is Edpuzzle?
Edpuzzle is an online platform for teachers to make any video into an interactive assignment for students. Teachers can add questions, voice notes, and quizzes directly into videos (edpuzzles). Students watch the videos, answer questions during the video, and get immediate feedback. Teachers can monitor student engagement and understanding with real-time data. Edpuzzle is used mainly in K-12 education but is also helpful in higher education and training settings.
Features & Benefits
- Question embedding into videos
Teachers can insert multiple-choice, open-ended, and true/false questions inside any video. Students must answer the questions to continue watching. - AI-powered question generator
The Teacher Assist feature uses AI to suggest questions based on the video content. This saves time and helps teachers create better lessons faster. - Automatic grading of student answers
Short answers and multiple-choice questions are automatically graded. Teachers can review and override the grades if needed. - Screen recording and editing
Teachers can record their screens with voiceover to create custom instructional videos. They can cut, trim, and add quizzes directly into the recordings. - Library of pre-made video lessons (Edpuzzle Originals)
Teachers can access thousands of ready-to-use, standards-aligned video lessons across subjects and grade levels. Lessons can be assigned as-is or customized. - Prevent video skipping
Teachers can force students to watch the entire video without fast-forwarding. This ensures full participation. - Self-paced student learning
Students can watch the assigned videos at their own speed, replay sections they do not understand, and complete lessons flexibly. - Live Mode for real-time learning
Teachers can project a video in class, and students answer questions live on their own devices during the video playback. - Real-time student analytics
Edpuzzle provides instant data on who watched the video, how many questions were answered correctly, and where students struggled. - Full privacy protection
Edpuzzle is compliant with major student privacy laws like FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR.

Real-world Applications
In a middle school science class, a teacher can upload a video of a lab experiment, embed questions about each step, and assign it as homework. Students watch, answer during the video, and the teacher reviews the data to see who needs help before the real lab session.
In high school history classes, teachers can screen record themselves explaining historical documents. Using Edpuzzle, they can embed pop-up questions to check student understanding as they explain key points.
In a college setting, professors can use Edpuzzle to flip their classrooms. Students watch lectures on their own time, answer embedded questions, and come to class prepared to discuss the material in depth.
Corporate trainers can also use Edpuzzle to create onboarding videos with mandatory checkpoints to ensure new employees understand company policies before moving forward.
