Q&A:
Q: Do I need to create a PlayPosit account?
A: If you haven’t used PlayPosit before, accessing it through Canvas for the first time will automatically create your instructor account. You can learn more about how to launch PlayPosit in Canvas.
Q: Should you always access PlayPosit from Canvas, or can you use the website?
A: PlayPosit recommends instructors go through Canvas the first time they access the PlayPosit tool. This allows instructors to associate their PlayPosit account with TechConnect.
Q: Why is my Canvas account asking for a consumer key and shared secret when I try to access PlayPosit?
A: The steps you need to access PlayPosit are outlined in the webinar starting at minute 16:55 and in the attached PowerPoint slideshow. Further information can also be found in the article Canvas 3.0.
Q: Why don't I see PlayPosit among my "External Tools" on Canvas?
A: If PlayPosit does not appear under "External Tools" in Canvas, it may not be installed. Your district will need to request installation. For further assistance, please reach out to support@ccctechconnect.org.
Q: Do I need to create a Bulb in PlayPosit before I can link it to Canvas?
A: Yes, you must create a Bulb before being able to link it in PlayPosit within Canvas. You can create your own Bulb in PlayPosit or explore the Premade Bulbs Library available from the menu. See the article: Navigating PlayPosit – Premade Bulbs for step-by-step guidance.
Q: If I use PlayPosit to create a Bulb in an existing video, will captions automatically be added to the video?
A: Captions that have already been added to a video in TechConnect Cloud (formerly known as 3C Media) or another supported platform will automatically be fetched and applied within the PlayPosit player. For more information, refer to the articles: CCC TechConnect – 3C Media and Captions in PlayPosit.
Q: Do videos need to be set to ‘Public’ to be used in PlayPosit, or are unlisted videos also supported?
A: TechConnect Cloud and YouTube videos do not need to be ‘Public’ to be used in PlayPosit.
Q: Can I link a page or assignment from Canvas within a Bulb?
A: Yes, you can include a link within a Bulb (i.e. to your Canvas course page or assignment). You can either use the “insert” option when editing an interaction, or use the Web Embed interaction type.
Q: How does accessibility work with PDFs in PlayPosit?
A: The accessibility features for PDFs in PlayPosit align with those available in Adobe Reader, which is the tool PlayPosit uses for this interaction type. Students can download the PDF, highlight or annotate text, and add comments.
Q: Can students see the report of their peers’ interactions with the PlayPosit video I created, or is that information only available to me?
A: Students can only view peer responses within discussion interactions. The full report, including progress data, is accessible only to instructors on the monitor page.
Q: Will the AI recognize non-English languages and suggest questions in those languages?
A: Yes, you can translate the generated interactions.
Q: Lecture content is considered intellectual property, can I avoid sending it through AI?
A: Yes, you can choose to create all interactions manually without using AI.
Q: Can AI generation be turned off?
A: Yes, AI generation can be disabled at the admin level. It is an optional, instructor-facing feature, and instructors may choose to create interactions manually rather than use AI.
Q: Where are the resources located for the interactive video showcase?
A: You can view the interactive video showcase by visiting the article, Interactive Video Showcase.
Q: How can I find the PlayPosit Customer Resources Hub?
A: You can access the PlayPosit Customer Resources Hub for helpful tools, guides, and support materials.
