Kaltura - Adding an Interactive Video Quiz as an Assignment

This document describes how an instructor can add a Kaltura Interactive Video Quiz (IVQ) as an assignment in Canvas that connects to the gradebook. Note: because of uncommon but persistent issues with Kaltura Quizzes failing to pass grade information to Canvas, we recommend that Kaltura Quizzes be used for low stakes assessment rather than high value tests or quizzes.
