Schoology learning management system (LMS) offers numerous integrations that enhance the overall teaching and learning experience. One such integration is with Edpuzzle, an interactive video tool built for educators.
This blog will guide you through the steps to assign Edpuzzle activities directly within Schoology.
Edpuzzle is an interactive video platform that allows educators to create engaging video lessons by embedding questions, audio notes, and quizzes into videos.
When Edpuzzle is integrated with Schoology, it enables teachers to assign these interactive video lessons directly within their Schoology courses, improving the overall learning experience.
