Awardee:
Zaption
Year: 2014

Phase I Development
Contract number: EDIES14C0049

Purpose

The project team is developing a prototype of a mobile platform, Zaption, to support teachers in using video clips to enrich learning. The product's user-interface will allow teachers to easily add annotations to videos, make short video clips that align to topics, and enhance videos with time-linked elements and assessments that appear at the top of each video. In Phase I pilot research, the team will examine whether the prototype functions as planned, if teachers are able to use the prototype for different purposes, and whether students are engaged by the prototype.
