FeedbackFruits offers several Blackboard integrated plug-ins in the area of interactive study materials.  Also in Blackboard’s replacement, Brightspace, is a direct link to FeedbackFruits.

FeedbackFruits Interactive Video makes it possible to add discussion topics, questions or comments to videos. These can for example be knowledge clips or snippets of a lecture. By adding questions or discussion topics, you can increase student engagement and attention while watching the video.   

It is also an option to let the students add their own questions or discussion topics. This way, students can really actively engage with the content.   

As an instructor, it is also nice to be able to see what parts of the video students are struggling with. One way to do this is to look at the answers to the questions, or the questions and comments that students can add themselves. These topics can then be additionally explained during a study group, for example.
