A little over a year ago, I wrote a post about blubbr which would allow one to take clips from various YouTube videos and create questions about them. Well eduCanon takes that concept a step (or five) further. eduCanon was created in order to make the task of watching (and hopefully learning from) videos more of an active and engaging experience. Rather than passively letting the video play, students have to answer teacher-created questions in order to proceed with the video. Students are also unable to fast forward beyond what they have already viewed.
Teachers can create video lessons using a variety of educational video sources including YouTube, Khan Academy, TeacherTube, Vimeo, Shmoop, and even upload their own screencasts. Teachers can create class rosters and then keep track of who has watched the assigned videos and how well they did with answering the questions. This is a great tool to use whether you are teaching in a Flipped or Blended classroom.
