Edpuzzle

An interesting online application I ran across recently was Edpuzzle. It allows an instructor to link to a video url and prevent students from skipping through it but also adds in the ability to ask students questions or make note of important ideas. Instructors can narrate over the top of parts or the entire video. It also offers analytics to help inform the instructor on the effectiveness of the video.

I can see this being a good tool to use for visual and audio learners. It will allow them to process information through those formats. Kinesthetic learners may find the breaking up of the video sections with pop ups with question to be more appealing than a standard video. I could see this being an issue for learners who may have visual or auditory disabilities and for low level ELLs. However, content can be made specifically for ELLs that could address vocabulary or conversation.
