Three types of assignments
- Standard - Without any additional settings, this assignment type allows you to record or upload a standalone video and submit it for feedback. With additional settings, this assignment type can be configured to allow live review, group recordings, or presenter slides.
- Stimulus - This assignment type allows you to record a video response to a prompt video (or other media). This recorded response will then be synchronized to the stimulus media.
- Comment Only - This assignment type allows you to evaluate a video without recording your own video response.
Three privacy options
- Private - Recordings and feedback are only visible to the Presenter and Instructors/Reviewers.
- Closed Peer Review - Peers see and critique others' recordings, but their feedback is only visible to the Presenter and Instructors/Reviewers. (formerly Peer Critique)
- Open Peer Review - Peers see and critique others' recordings, and can see everyone's feedback on all submissions. (formerly Peer Critique and All Comments are Public)
