What Edpuzzle does

Edpuzzle allows teachers to customize online videos for specific learning objectives. Teachers can upload their own videos, add URLs, or use videos from the built-in content library. Videos can be enhanced with voice-over comments, embedded assessment questions, and links. Teachers can share these videos with students, assign due dates, and track students' progress and scores. Edpuzzle also integrates with various Learning Management Systems (LMS) and allows teachers to import their own videos from different sources.
