To gauge if students are watching assigned videos, which option is best for including comprehension questions?

Embedding the video in a Google Form is the most effective option for gauging whether students are watching assigned videos and understanding the content. By embedding the video directly into the Google Form, you can create a seamless experience for students where they can watch the video and answer comprehension questions immediately after. This method not only ensures that students are engaging with the video content, but it also allows you to analyze their responses efficiently.

In addition, because Google Forms can be set up to collect responses anonymously and can auto-grade questions, this method provides both immediate feedback for students and easy assessment for educators. This makes it a practical choice for both engagement and evaluation.

Other options fall short in various ways. Simply emailing a link may lead to students watching the video but does not provide a mechanism for comprehension assessment and lacks engagement features. Sharing the video through social media might reach students but could lead to distractions, and similar to emailing, does not provide a structured feedback method. Posting the video on a bulletin board does not offer an interactive platform for assessing comprehension at all, making it the least effective choice among the options provided.
