Interactive video for employee assessments

Cinema8 enables organisations to run employee assessments directly inside video content. By adding questions, clickable choices, and interactive prompts, teams can evaluate understanding as employees progress through scenarios or explanations. This approach provides clearer insight into knowledge retention and decision-making than static tests, helping HR and L&D teams assess learning outcomes more accurately and at scale.

Cinema8’s interactive video platform allows organisations to assess employees directly within video-based scenarios. Instead of relying on separate quizzes or static forms, teams can embed questions, prompts, and decision points into assessment videos to evaluate understanding in real time. Responses are tracked automatically, giving HR and L&D teams clear visibility into performance, completion, and knowledge gaps. This approach supports more engaging assessments while producing measurable data that helps improve training quality and compliance outcomes.

How to run employee assessments with interactive video

Create assessment videos that test understanding through questions, choices, and tracked responses.

Step 1

Upload or create your assessment video in Cinema8 and structure it around a topic, scenario, or policy you want to evaluate. This forms the foundation of the employee assessment.

Step 2

Add interactive elements such as questions, multiple-choice prompts, or decision points at key moments. These interactions capture employee responses as they progress through the assessment.

Step 3

Publish the assessment and review analytics to see completion rates, answer patterns, and areas of misunderstanding. Use these insights to refine future assessments or identify knowledge gaps.

Why use Cinema8 for interactive employee assessments?

Cinema8 helps organisations assess employee knowledge in a more realistic and measurable way by embedding evaluation directly into video. Instead of relying on separate tests, employees respond to questions and scenarios as they watch, creating clearer insight into understanding and decision-making. This approach improves engagement, reduces assessment fatigue, and gives HR and L&D teams reliable data to support training, compliance, and performance reviews.

Interactive videos place assessment questions directly within real scenarios, allowing employees to respond as situations unfold. This provides a more accurate picture of understanding and decision-making than standalone quizzes or forms. By evaluating responses in context, organisations can better assess how employees apply knowledge rather than simply recalling information.
Cinema8 supports multiple assessment formats, including multiple-choice questions, decision-based prompts, and interactive selections. These can be placed at specific moments in the video to test understanding of policies, procedures, or role-based scenarios. This flexibility allows teams to design assessments that match real workplace situations.
Cinema8 records responses, completion rates, and interaction data for each assessment video with its advanced video analytics tools. HR and L&D teams can review results in a central dashboard to identify performance trends, knowledge gaps, or areas where additional training may be needed. This data-driven approach supports more informed learning decisions.
Interactive video assessments are well suited to compliance environments where understanding must be verified. By embedding questions within policy or procedure videos, organisations can confirm comprehension at key points. This helps demonstrate due diligence and ensures employees truly engage with the required information.
Interactive video assessments are valuable for HR, L&D, compliance, and operational teams that need reliable insight into employee understanding. They are particularly effective for evaluating policy comprehension, decision-making skills, and post-training retention across departments, roles, or locations.
