What’s new in ScreenPal

You may have heard that we recently rebranded from Screencast-O-Matic to ScreenPal. We needed a name that reflected the evolution of our brand and product to an all-in-one solution that will help you capture, create and share digital content for your classroom. Check out our updates that can help you in your classroom:

Now free: Capture, edit, and share, all in one place!

This release is hot off the press! On June 15th, we updated our free tools to give all users a seamless experience. Now everyone has access to the desktop Project Manager, and can easily capture their screen, edit recordings and screenshots, import videos and images for editing, and manage all of their projects, all in one place. 

Interactive video quizzing

Easily add interactive video quizzes to any video. 

Last year, we launched our interactive video quizzing feature, empowering educators to turn any video into an interactive learning experience. You can easily add quiz questions, ratings, and polls to video lessons for student engagement, formative assessment, active learning, and classroom fun!

We’ve made a few updates to our quizzing feature including:

• A new ‘Results’ tab that allows students to view all of the quizzes they have taken as well as feedback provided.
• Create a quiz immediately after uploading a video.
• Exclude short answers from affecting the final quiz score for students.

With interactive video quizzing, teachers can:

• Embed multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer quizzes or polls right into the beginning, middle, or end of any video.
• Randomize the order of questions that appear on each student’s screens.
• Allow or prevent questions from being skipped.
• Give automatic feedback on the correct answer and why it’s the right choice for that particular question.
• View individual student data or aggregated data for their entire class.
• Allow students to take quizzes or polls anonymously or require them to sign in.
• Teachers can get real-time insights and summary analytics on their quizzes to monitor class progress and identify where the class may need additional instruction. Teachers can also review individual student results to understand how each student is learning and where they may need additional support.
• Our advanced video analytics allow teachers to view content trends and video heatmaps for advanced insights on student engagement. Teachers get a comprehensive view of watches, rewatches, and skipped content.

Create a cohesive learning experience with Stories

ScreenPal now offers an all-new creation experience with the advent of Stories! Start any project with an interactive video storyboard, or a structured script mode to guide your narration or recording. 

 We designed Stories to save you time and streamline your content creation process. With Stories, you can:

• Easily turn your existing Google Slides presentations or PDFs into video lessons.
• Plan out your instructional videos in a dynamic storyboard, then record, edit and share, all in one place
• Add videos, images or recordings for each section of your storyboard.
• Drag and drop sections to reorganize your story. 
• Automatically turn your video script into captions for accessibility

And lots more!

Our ScreenPal elves have been busy at work making lots of updates including:

• Text recognition in images using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) so you can easily edit, style, or replace text in any screenshot or image.
• Upload a custom logo or image to your channel- think adding your school or district logo as a watermark to your videos.
• Confetti effects for everyone! ScreenPal now offers celebratory effects for all when recording from a text box.
• Even more ways to easily make your videos accessible  by uploading and downloading captions directly in the hosting platform.
• Easily change your webcam shape in the video editor (to a circle, for example) and we’ll remember your camera preference.

How ScreenPal’s new Team Education plan will benefit your school

With our new Team Education plan, schools, districts, and teams of educators have access to the full product and feature set that ScreenPal offers.
