Why to use Annoto In-Video Quizzes

Annoto's integration with Moodle enables instructors to restrict access to specific course content based on student engagement with video activities.

By using Moodle’s Restrict Access feature, instructors can set criteria that require students to complete interactive video activities—such as watching videos, participating in discussions —before gaining access to the next section of the course.

This functionality promotes progressive learning by ensuring students actively engage with material before moving forward, helping them stay on track and reinforcing key learning outcomes.

To set access restrictions, navigate to the activity you want to limit based on previous activity completion.

• Click on "Add restriction"

• Click on "Activity completion"

• Choose the activity that needs to be completed before this activity can be viewed.
