EdPuzzle Pros and Cons

Holding students accountable when watching a video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is tricky to get it to work embedded into our Schools LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great tool for engaging students and getting feedback during the learning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike. I think it is a great product. At times troubleshooting a teacher's integration can be a challenge, but overall we use this product seemlessly with our Canvas LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the variety of teaching support in the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it was state standards aligned more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can quickly and easily build learning experiences for any video on YouTube - including ones I have made myself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fees and limits - but I am lucky that my district pays for premium. I would be lost without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very creative way to present information. You can use different features to present material. Use a mini-movie, a video, a music video, or other types of video, and the students can interact with it. You can pose questions for comprehension and thought processing. You have complete control of the particulars of the video to review at stopping points. You can also slow it down or speed it up! The students then submit their answers for you to see how they did.

I really can't think of a particular issue that I dislike about Edpuzzle, But Edpuzzle has a set amount of features, but I would like it to perhaps allow the students to be able to create Edpuzzles or create alternate endings of videos. Edpuzzle uses already created videos and has a variety to choose from. Edpuzzle does not use captions automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Student paced with immediate feedback options.

Ease of use with instructional videos on Youtube Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike in an independent setting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that EdPuzzle allows me to assign my students videos to watch, and it tracks if they have watched the video. I can also insert questions throughout the video to check their understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve on how to edit videos and and add questions. There also seems to be a lot of unnecessary clicking to get to each class's gradebook and assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of classroom management in edpuzzle makes it an essential tool for teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how the schoology integration is set up. I wish it was more similar to his google classroom functions with edpuzzle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EdPuzzle has revolutionized how I teach, especially as relates to homework assignments. In the past, it was hard to ensure students were completing an assignment. Now I give that assignment as an EdPuzzle, disable skipping, and insert the questions throughout the video instead of in a worksheet. Student comprehension is WAY up, and cheating is WAY down. 10/10 recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The gradesheet on EdPuzzle can take a few seconds to load, especially if you use EdPuzzle frequently and have a lot of assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EdPuzzle has been a wonderful platform to use for remote video sharing to groups of people. There are many features, but by far the best are the data analytics and organizational layout.

Upon assigning a video to a class and setting a due date (and time even), the classroom page will show when the video was last accessed, what percentage of the video is complete, and will store a grade for the video (if quiz questions are added within the video). On that note, the teacher can insert questions within a video for students to answer, and may choose whether the students can skip over sections of the video, or have to stop and pause anywhere before moving on.

The organization is a life-saver. The teacher can store content within folders, and then can assign a video from that folder. EdPuzzle is also connected to other platforms, such as YouTube or Khan Academy, where videos can also be pulled from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been issues with uploading videos directly from my device to the site. I have had to upload videos to YouTube first and then to EdPuzzle, in order to make it work smoothly. There is also limited space to store videos on EdPUzzle without getting the Pro version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
