Camtasia -- Quizzes and Importing into Bb Learn

First, we VERY HIGHLY recommend building your Quizzes in Kaltura Drexel Streams rather than using Camtasia.

Camtasia most certainly can be used for screen recording, video recording, and video editing.

But we do not recommend using the test or quiz function in Camtasia. There are hard to resolve technical issues if something goes wrong with a Camtasia quiz imported into Bb Learn.

If you do go that route, here are instructions for how to get the quiz into Bb Learn.

Basically, when you are finished editing the video in Camtasia, and have added the quiz(zes) in Camtasia, and you go to Share > Local File > MP4 with Smart Player (up to 1080p) > Next > Report quiz results using SCORM (I left SCORM options on defaults, but feel free to experiment) and do not check “Report quiz results through email” > Next > choose “Folder” and rename if wish and check “Organize produced files into sub-folders” and “Show production results” but do not check “Play video after production (before upload)” > “Finish.”

Go into the newly created folder with your video on your computer, find the .zip file and note the location. Go to Bb Learn and one of your “Week” areas or a similar area with a “Build Content” button/menu and click Build Content > Content Package (SCORM) > Browse My Computer > find the folder with .zip file and select and upload it > Submit. Wait for upload, possibly a while with no visual indication of progress. Fill in options on form that appears. You do not need to make it gradeable. I recommend putting in the “Description” box or “Title” that this is a video with quiz and to click link to play. Then click Submit. New items appears at bottom of pages (unless no items on page). Play video.

Disable pop-up blocker if no video plays. Chrome or Firefox may work better than Safari. Edge and IE are not recommended.

If you don’t need the quizzes graded, I highly recommend making the quizzes in Kaltura directly, after uploading the video by itself into the Kaltura Drexel Streams tool in Bb Learn, or at https://drexel.edu/it/streams . There are more available functions in DrexelOne, FYI. You can distribute any videos uploaded in DrexelOne’s Kaltura to Bb Learn in much the same way as uploading directly to Bb Learn (just don’t create a new video, select from available).
