Creating and Using Bongo Video Assessments

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

Adding a Bongo assessment page to a Course:

Bongo Assessment Pages are available in Course Content Types only.

Any user with the permission to create content will see the option to add a Bongo page to a course. Grading permissions are separate from content creation so consider having both permissions enabled for instructors that will be dealing with Bongo assessments.

1. Navigate to the course where you would like to create a Bongo assessment page.
   • To get to the course outline, go to Courses > All Courses and click on the course title.
2. Once you are in the course, click Add Page in the course outline.
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 from Bongo 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.

   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.
   • Enable Panorama Segmentation: When enabled, learners will only be able to conduct peer reviews within their own client. Additionally, main site learners will not be able to use peer review with panorama learners. 
   • Minimum Passing Percentage (recommended): When set, learners will have to receive a grade that correlates to the minimum passing percentage in order to complete the page.
     Warning

     If you leave the minimum passing percentage field blank, the page will be marked complete once graded regardless of the score a learner achieved. Read more about this field in this section.

   • 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.
   

After creating your Bongo page and deciding on the assignment type, you can set a minimum passing percentage for the Thought Industries page to be considered complete. If you leave this field blank, the page will be marked complete once graded regardless of the score a learner achieved.

Minimum Passing Percentage can be set by going to the course page set up as a Bongo assignment and scrolling to the bottom of the Thought Industries page editor. 

Things to Know:

• The Bongo score will be converted to a percentage.
  Bongo has several different assignment types, such as Percentage, Smart Scoring, Pass/Fail, Five Star and others. You can select from any of these assignment types within our existing iFrame integration. Regardless of which Bongo assignment type you select, the score that will be shown in Thought Industries and counted against the minimum passing percentage will be a percentage score out of 100. For instance, if you select 5 Star grading as your desired Bongo assignment type and you want the minimum passing grade to be 4/5 Stars, you should add a value of 80 in the minimum passing percentage field on the Thought Industries page, since 4/5 Stars converted to a percent value is 80%.
  
  
• Pass/Fail Set Up
  If you want the Bongo assignment page to be a Pass/Fail assignment, put a score of 100 as your minimum passing percentage.
  
  
• Using Bongo assignments with Certificates and Awards
  If you desire to give learners certificates or awards based on whether or not they’ve passed Bongo assignment pages, we recommend using the minimum passing percentage field to do this. You can configure certificates and awards to be granted to learners for Bongo assignments the same way that you do for all other page and content types.
  
  
• Learner View
  When a minimum passing percentage has been entered for a Bongo assignment page, learners will see a helpful message at the top of the page letting them know the minimum passing percentage they need to achieve in order to complete the page. The value displayed to learners in this message will be a percentage value regardless of which Bongo assignment type has been selected.

Course pages using Bongo will reflect design aspects like color and font set up at the main site or Panorama level. 

Bongo pages can be included in the course's completion criteria. This allows you to make sure the learner completes the Bongo assessment in order to pass the overall course.

To add the Bongo Assessment page to completion criteria:

1. Go to Courses > All Courses and click on the course title to access the course.
2. Click on the Completion step.
3. Add a new completion criteria and choose the criteria type Bongo Assignment Completed.
4. Then choose the Bongo page you would like the learner to complete.
5. Click Save.

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 Courses > Grading in the left menu. After the learner has submitted the assignment, you will be able to 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.

Grading Bongo assignments that have a minimum passing percentage:

• When Bongo assignment pages have a minimum passing percentage attached to them, number grades indicating the percentage out of 100 will appear next to the assignment in the grading tab.
• Just like other Thought Industries assignment grading, we’ll also indicate a green checkmark when an assignment is passed or a red x when an assignment has been failed.
• You have the option to reset the submission for learners who you would like to resubmit an existing assignment. This can be done directly through the Bongo iFrame UI that we offer through the grading tab.

Bongo final grades will display in course level assignment reports. 

1. Go to Courses > All Courses and locate any course utilizing a Bongo assessment.
2. Click on the Course Title to access the outline.
3. Click on the Release step and then Reporting.
4. Lastly, go to the Assignments tab.

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.

Some other things to know about the learner experience:

• The learner can see their grades by navigating back to the assignment page within the course.
• Depending on the assessment type and setup, learners can resubmit assessments. Individual assignments are typically intended for the learner to practice and upload multiple tries in which they can review and select which of their recordings they want to submit.
