Concept Note (Vision)

08 Apr 2021

Interactive videos are a great way to engage a learner. Following capabilities are essential to making a scalable generalised interactive video solution on Sunbird.

...

• Telemetry would need to be emitted from player and editor

  • Re-package as plain JS to generate telemetry events

• Use QuML library to render questions on top of videos

• Workflow (creation):

  • Create new interactive video > [Start with a video on system]

  • Pick/upload a video > [Upload v2]

  • Pause at a timestamp to insert question

  • Pick/create questions > [Create v2]

  • Submit for review

• Player: Video (existing player - video js or new player - plyr) overlay with a question (use QuML player)

  • Transitioning between player is possible but not tried out yet

• Connect with tech partner. To get a jump-start.

• Local / staging setup → Use Dev APIs instead. To modify APIs - a local instance of backend is required.

• Enhance the asset model to store contextual interactive behaviour (contextual questions) → Rayulu to lead, co-create with Pritam

• Asset model: Definition and Metadata attributes for an object.

• Interception points to stitch any sequence intermixing variety of content. Time based interception points.

• MVP - Plio V1 + Tiny contribution (as strategic call)

• Offline consumption - requires change in publishing pipeline. Is it critical for V1?

  • Consumption client (portal / app) needs to understand new packaging which includes questions.

  • Same player can play online and offline.

Suggested approach

1. Enhance the asset model to store contextual interactive behaviour (contextual questions) →

2. Enhance or develop a player to play interactive video as per the context

3. Develop an editor to create interactive videos using any video & any question

4. Develop a data product extension to analyse interactive video

5. Make all these changes as part of Sunbird Core and SunbirdEd to scale this innovation globally

Roadmap (Maturity Model)

Version 1

1. Design for asset model to support contextual interactive behaviour

2. Design and POC of player to support contextual interactions
