Correct answer: A
Concept
Educational technology tools are classified by the instructional function they are built to perform. The interactive-video class is the one designed to carry a pre-recorded video and an assessment layer on the SAME timeline: questions are attached to chosen timestamps, playback pauses there, and each learner's response is captured against that exact moment of the video.
So a "which tool" item of this kind is settled by matching the requirements stated in the stem against each tool's designed function, never by which tool is the most familiar name.
Application
The teacher's requirement has two parts that one single tool must satisfy together: students watch a pre-recorded video, and questions sit inside that video and are answered while it plays.
Name the class of tool the requirement implies: content delivery plus embedded formative assessment on one video timeline, i.e. the interactive-video class.
Match each offered tool against that class by the function it was designed for, not by how popular it is in classrooms.
Edpuzzle is built for exactly this class: a teacher imports or uploads a video, trims it, may add voice-over notes, and inserts multiple-choice or open-ended questions at chosen timestamps; playback pauses at each inserted question and every student's answer is reported back to the teacher.
Cross-check
Tool | Designed function |
|---|---|
Edpuzzle | Interactive video - questions embedded at timestamps in a pre-recorded video, answers recorded per student |
Evernote | Note-taking - typed notes, web clippings and attachments organised in searchable notebooks |
Google Docs | Collaborative word processing - real-time co-authoring of one text document |
Strawpoll | Online polling - a standalone poll page carrying one question, tallying votes from a shared link |
Only the interactive-video tool carries the questions on the video timeline itself. A notebook, a word processor and a poll page all sit outside the video, so a teacher using any of them would have to distribute the video through one channel and collect the answers through another, losing the link between a question and the moment in the video it tests.
Hence the most suitable tool for pre-recorded videos with questions embedded in them is Edpuzzle.
