EDpuzzle is a wonderful free app that you can use to make video content more interactive by adding in things like multiple-choice and open-ended questions.

Let’s take a look at how you can get started transforming your video content!

The app is designed for use in human anatomy, animal and plant biology, geology, chemistry, physics, geometry, paleontology, and history, so if you’re involved in one of those subject areas, read on!
