Create video assignments with Bongo Video Assignments

Bongo (formerly YouSeeU) Video Assignments is a tool for creating and managing video assignments that allows instructors and student peers to provide feedback. It is integrated in myCourses and can be added to a Module/Unit or Sub-Module/Lesson in your course.

To create a video assignment:

1. On the main Content page, click the name of a Module/Unit or Sub-Module/Lesson.

2. Click Add Existing Activities or Add Existing.

There are four types of video assignments:

• Individual Project - students can create individual video presentations with supporting materials.

• Group Project – students work together to manage, complete and submit a group presentation.

• Question & Answer – students answer on-the-spot questions within a limited time frame.

• Interactive Video – students answer questions based on a video/media.
