    Ready when the release is verified.

    One-time plugin access: 50 Credits ($5 USD) on LMS Labs, or US$5 on Moodle Marketplace, subject to release availability.

    Acquisition currently unavailable

    Checking release metadata

    Access stays closed while the release manifest loads.

    Moodle compatibility: awaiting verified release-bound metadata.

    A catalogue listing is not a promoted release. The live manifest controls purchase, unlock and download. Operation charges are separate from one-time access; see the guide below.

    01 / Orientation

    Give every pause a purpose.

    For teachers who want learners to do more than press play and hope the important parts land.
    For the educator

    Bring a YouTube link and transcript, set the interaction count and allowed types, then review the generated pauses.

    For the learner

    Watch and respond to questions at points along the video; resume an attempt where you left off.

    02 / The teaching workflow

    From setup to learning

    A starting path for teachers. Review learner-facing material before using it in class.

    1. 01

      Provide the source

      Start with a YouTube video and a transcript. Timestamped formats position pauses precisely; plain text is also accepted with timing spread across the video.

    2. 02

      Create interactions

      Choose the number and allowed types of activities; generate from the transcript, then review and edit before learners see them.

    3. 03

      Teach with the results

      Learners encounter questions during playback; review attempts and reporting in Moodle.

    03 / Field notes

    From transcript to interaction

    Note 01

    Prepare the transcript

    The documented workflow accepts a copied YouTube transcript, SRT, WebVTT, bracketed timestamps or plain text. Keep the source text accurate before generating.

    Note 02

    Control the journey

    Choose the number of interactions and their allowed types. The activity places questions at sections where the transcript topic changes.

    Note 03

    After generation

    Edit the created interactions before publishing. Optional no-skip playback prevents moving ahead to unwatched parts; attempts can resume.

    04 / Capabilities

    What the activity brings

    01 / Capability

    Eight question types

    A range of interactive question formats makes the activity more than a single repeated quiz pattern.

    02 / Capability

    Timeline-aware prompts

    Timestamps connect questions to the parts of the video they address when present.

    03 / Capability

    Teacher review

    Generated interactions can be edited; playback and learner attempts do not require a new generation.

    05 / Cost & limits

    Know what is separate

    Operation credits

    The v1.0.9 release documents 100 credits per AI creation or re-creation. Editing, playback and learner attempts do not incur that generation tariff. One-time acquisition is separate from operation credits.

    Important boundary. The embedded video depends on access to YouTube. The transcript and activity settings are sent to LMS Labs for generation.

    06 / Administration

    Installation

    Installation is an administrator action. Do not use a candidate attachment as a substitute for a verified release.

    1. 01

      Obtain the release

      Once a promoted release is available, complete the required access verification and obtain the verified ZIP from LMS Labs.

    2. 02

      Install in Moodle

      As a site administrator, go to Site administration → Plugins → Install plugins, upload the ZIP and follow Moodle’s validation and upgrade prompts.

    3. 03

      Add to a course

      Enable editing in a course and add AI Interactive Video as an activity. Configure it before opening it to learners.

    Plugin location: /mod/aiinteractivevideo/

    07 / Answers

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use a local video file?

    The documented creation workflow uses a YouTube URL and a transcript; do not assume local-file generation is supported.

    Are learner attempts charged?

    No. The documented 100-credit tariff applies to AI creation or re-creation, not editing, playback or attempts.

    Must the transcript contain timestamps?

    No. Plain text is also accepted, spreading timing across the video; timestamps give more precise placement.
