Video + Overlay Questions: Respond to prompts during embedded video
Watch. Pause. Think. Respond. Because engagement shouldn't stop when the video starts.
What It Is
Video + Overlay Questions embed interactive prompts—such as multiple choice, short answer, or rating scales—directly into the video timeline. As learners watch, the video pauses at key moments to ask questions, invite reflection, or require decisions. This approach transforms passive viewing into active learning, keeping learners engaged and focused.
When to Use It
- Reinforcing key takeaways during onboarding or product demos
- Pausing role-play videos to ask, “What would you do next?”
- Testing understanding of compliance policies presented in video
- Adding knowledge checks during safety, equipment, or procedural walkthroughs
- Driving engagement in leadership or soft skills storytelling
Why It Works
- Boosts active engagement by interrupting passive watching
- Enhances knowledge retention through spaced questioning
- Connects video content to critical thinking in real time
- Improves learning flow by integrating visuals with interaction
- Provides measurable impact from otherwise one-way content
