Creating and Using Bongo Video Assessments

Bongo is a video assessment solution that enables experiential learning and soft skill development at scale. If you choose to implement this feature into your learning environment, this article will serve as a guide to create and use video assessments.

What's included in this article:

• Creating a Bongo assessment page
• Learner View
• Grading

Before we jump in, let's outline the three assignment types that Bongo offers:

Adding a Bongo assessment page to a Course:

1. Navigate to the course where you would like to create a Bongo assessment page.
   • To get to the course outline, go to Content > Actions > Edit.
2. Once you are in the course, click Add Page.
3. The Bongo assessment page is in the Other category at the bottom of the page options. Scroll down and choose the Bongo page option.
   
   
4. Choose the best fit from the three assignment types. See descriptions of each option earlier in the article.
   
   Note

   Once the assignment type is chosen for this particular course page, you cannot switch to other assignment types. To create a page with a different assignment type, add a new Bongo page and choose the appropriate assignment type to configure.

5. Click Next.
6. Configure the assignment and click Save. See links below for instructions and helpful articles for each assignment type:
   • Individual Assignment.
   • Video Question & Answer
   • Interactive Video
     
     
   Tip

   The Evaluation Type ties to how the assignment will be graded in the admin grading interface. See this article about different grading options for more details.

   Warning

   We strongly suggest disabling Peer Review for any Bongo pages used within Panorama Clients. There is no segmentation available within Panorama Clients or Sublicenses.

   Warning

   We strongly discourage the use of the Deep Linking advanced setting in Bongo assignments. We advise against changing or updating the Deep Link.

7. Make any optional changes to the page outside of the Bongo prompt and make sure to click Save.
   • Height of Bongo container.
   • Width of Bongo container.
   • Prevent Course Progress: When enabled, learners cannot proceed past the Bongo assessment page until this assignment has been marked completed by an instructor in the Grading interface.
   • You also have these options under Advanced Settings:
     1. Unlocked for editing by children?
     2. Audio Narration File
     3. # of seconds required for completion
8. Publish changes.

Editing a Bongo assessment page in a Course:

1. Navigate to the course with the Bongo assessment page.
2. Go to the course page. 
3. Click Configure.
4. Make necessary edits and make sure to click Save.
   
   

When a learner reaches a Bongo page type in a course, Bongo is embedded in the page to make the experience seamless. The learner does not have to open any other tabs, or navigate to another site to complete the assignment. They simply need to complete the assignment as instructed.

Once a learner has submitted their assignment, the assignment will post in the Grading tab of the admin interface. The admin user will grade the assignment based on the Evaluation Type set while configuring the assignment.

Using Bongo with the Prevent Course Progress toggle:

• If you enable the Prevent Course Progress toggle for a Bongo page, the learner will not be able to move forward in the course until the assignment is graded. 
• To accomplish this, navigate to the grading interface after the learner has submitted the assignment and choose the individual assignment you'd like to grade. 
• Grade the assignment based on the Evaluation Type you've chosen at the time of assignment configuration and Save.
