Ease and limitations of use

User have to create an account in Educanon to start using the free version, there is the teacher account and the student account, then teacher will have to choose the grade that he or she teaches, and then the subject.

Teacher can choose to build lessons on videos that he or she created, or to build on lessons and videos (ready ones). They can use lessons from public library in the platform and edit on it.

Teacher can add lesson title and objectives to the video lesson.

One limitation is having two kinds only of questions for the free version, the multiple choices and the free response type of question, others are for the premium version.

Cost:

Teacher can use the free version that has the basic options which I believe that they are enough to make interactive video lesson, the premium version costs 89$ yearly. It has three more types of questions and the teacher can save students results in a grade book.

Using Educanon:

This my first time to use Educanon and I will use it again, because I found it very easy to use and need no experience to master it, and
