What does it do?
Takes authentic video Allows you to add tasks
• Multiple choice• Check all that apply• Reflective pause
Can link questions to web pages/ embed material
Here’s one that I made earlier…
The present perfect

Why is this better than a worksheet?
• It’s all on one link for learners• Questions inserted at certain points• You can know if they have done it and
which questions they have got right.
Much more control
