In-Video Engagement & Insights

Active Engagement, Built Into Every Video

Video tools stop at playback. Quiz tools pull learners out of the course. Annoto does both, adding quizzes, discussion, and analytics right inside the video you already use. No migration, no new platform.

Trusted by 200+ institutions worldwide

Collaborative

Learners comment, ask, and reply right on the video, so watching becomes a conversation instead of a solo task.

Immersive

Questions and notes live inside the video, keeping students in the moment instead of clicking away.

Engaging

Interactive prompts appear at the right point in the video, so attention holds and fewer learners drop off.

Insightful

See who watched, where they paused, and what they grasped, with results synced straight to your gradebook.

Customer Stories

Dominick Bagnato

Educational Media Production, Tools, and Facilities, NYU

Annoto has redefined how we approach educational media at NYU. The seamless integration with Kaltura Media Space and NYU Brightspace, coupled with the powerful analytics from the Annoto dashboard, has transformed our teaching and learning experience. It's not just a video annotation tool; it's a comprehensive solution that enhances engagement, fosters collaboration, and provides invaluable insights into student learning.

Cynthia Wilson Ph.D., CFLE

Executive Director, Florida State University

Annoto provides students more opportunities to think critically about the course content as they reflect on the questions posted and also have the chance to hear other students’ perspectives. In an online class, Annoto accomplishes many of the same goals for discussion as in in-person class. I highly recommend it to other instructors!

Melvin Crone

Programmamanager Taskforce Digital Learning,  Amsterdam University of the Arts

Using Annoto made the material less textual. There was more life in it. It enabled me to refer to concepts of art theory and art criticism based on students’ spontaneous responses. That made the material more fun and easier to cover. Annoto’s solution provides an interesting method of pedagogy. It makes the learning process much more interactive and rich.

Mark Losego

Associate Professor, Dean’s Education Innovation Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology

Annoto is a great tool for instructors to inject clarifying comments, added emphasis, or supporting content at time-stamped moments throughout instructional videos to further reinforce content and/or drive engagement in asynchronous courses where spontaneous interaction is otherwise difficult to achieve.

Alejandra Chavarria Arnau

Professoressa Ordinaria, Università degli Studi di Padova

Annoto is a good way of making students pay attention to specific parts of a learning video, deepening their comprehension of challenging topics by adding links or extra explanations, and understanding their students' difficulties by reading their questions. It makes students feel somehow accompanied while they are performing activities by themselves.
