Using Edpuzzle with Blackbaud

Edpuzzle allows teachers to create video lessons that are either entirely self-created or they can use Youtube videos as the base of their lesson and build their lesson around the video. Edpuzzle allows a teacher to track a student's progress as they move through the video, they can embedded questions within the video to test students, and grade students on both their progress and answers to any embedded questions.

An Integration manager will set up the Edpuzzle integration for their school. Before setting up the Edpuzzle Learning Tool, you will need to obtain the Consumer Key and Shared Secret from the Schools tab in your Edpuzzle profile. You will then need to go to Core, followed by Settings then Integration settings. You can set up your Learning tools under Learning tools.
