Engaging students at a distance and in the classroom can present challenges. Poll Everywhere provides a way to interact with your students with activities designed to ask questions, drive participation in group activities, and encourage students to share thoughts and insights from their phones or computers.

If you want to increase student engagement and personalize feedback within your Shark Media videos, the Annoto widget workshop was created just for you. The Annoto widget is a tool that integrates with Shark Media and can be used in Canvas enabling you to add interactive elements to your videos. You can use it to create questions, quizzes, surveys, polls, and discussions that appear on the video timeline. You and your students can also use it to annotate your videos with highlights, notes, links, and images. These features can help you enhance your instructional design, foster student collaboration, and provide timely and personalized feedback. We hope to see you there!
