Add videos to questions

Add videos to questions in Google Forms — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Embed the short experimental procedure video into question 2 of the lab quiz for Mr. Okoye’s chemistry class so students watch it in-question and answer the follow-ups; make sure autoplay is off and the video plays for students on school Chromebooks before Friday’s lab.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I insert a video into the quiz, make it easy to grade: show where the video will appear in the question, list the timestamps students must watch for the three follow-up items, flag if autoplay or captions are missing, and warn if the video host blocks playback on school devices.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Students report the embedded video won’t play at school

I embedded a lab demo video into Mr. Okoye’s quiz and several students on school Chromebooks can’t play it during class. I suspect our district blocks the video host or captions are off. What is the most likely cause and the quickest workaround so students can complete the quiz by class end?

Each semester videos fail on some devices

Over multiple semesters I keep getting reports that embedded videos won’t play for subsets of students because of hosting or device restrictions. Where am I losing credibility and what policy or habit should I change to make video-based questions reliable every term?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
