    Building PlayPosit Bulbs

    Bulbs are interactive videos created in PlayPosit by embedding various types of interactions within the video. These interactions include features like multiple-choice questions, open-ended prompts, web embeds and more. By providing real-time feedback and tracking student responses, PlayPosit helps create an active learning environment and fosters better understanding and retention of the material. Bulbs are created in Playposit before they are deployed through Blackboard. Videos can be linked from Kaltura, Youtube, or Vimeo.

    To create a bulb, go to PlayPosit and select My Bulbs from the left side menu, then click the "Add New Bulb" button in the upper left.
