ClassInTheBox – ClassInTheBox
ClassInTheBox is a web tool designed to encourage classroom work using the video format. Through pins and tags easily inserted by users, videos imported are enriched with additional information, explanations, links, illustrations, interactive activities, etc., promoting proactive viewing by students who can interact with the content.
The tool allows teachers to assign tasks, enabling students to work with the video, add pins or tags for annotations, highlights, and insert digital materials they’ve created. Students can engage in competency-based activities such as gathering evidence or identifying the gist. This helps develop skills in comprehension, synthesis and writing, while also fostering creativity, entrepreneurship, and digital competency.
ClassInTheBox incorporates Artificial Intelligence through automatically generated and assessable tasks, as well as through its assistant, Böxie, which functions as a comprehension assistant (optional and configurable). This allows students to directly request textual information from the video, helping them with their understanding. Similarly, the assistant manages the open resource gallery for teachers, quickly searching through hundreds of videos to find the desired content in a fraction of a second. Böxie’s search also presents the digital resources embedded in the video during the search, making it easier for the teacher to reuse them based on the search.
