Configuring Bulb playback

Select the Review tab and open the Playback options. The following playback options are available: 

• ⁑Allow learners to rewind after an interaction appears - Learners can rewind as far as the beginning of the video while they are answering an interaction. (Learners can always rewind as far as the beginning of the video after answering an interaction)
• ⁑Allow learners to skip interactions - Learners can choose not to answer interactions and keep watching the video.
• ⁑Allow viewers to fast forward - Viewers can fast-forward up to the next required interaction.
• ⁑Allow learners to retake the Bulb upon completion - Learners can retry an entire Bulb when they are done watching the video, but doing so will set their score back to zero until they finish watching the entire Bulb again. Any notes the learner has taken will be deleted when a learner begins a new attempt. 
• **Allow learners to view their printable report - Learners can download a printable worksheet of their answers once the Bulb has been completed. Instructors may enable this option as a way for learners to have a certificate of completion. Learners may use this report to review and study at a later date.
• *Allow learners to increase playback speed - This option will automatically be enabled for all Bulbs. Instructors can now have the option of disabling playback speed so their learners are unable to speed up videos.
• Disable captions for this video - This option will disable the ability for learners to turn on captions and transcripts if available. 
• **Hide learner score upon completion - Instructors have the option to hide the learner score when the Bulb is completed. This will prevent learners from seeing a specific percentage score when they complete a Bulb.
• ***Do not mark Bulb complete unless learner scores at least ____ - Learners will have to earn a minimum score in order for a Bulb to be marked as complete. In order for the minimum score requirement to be selected, there must be at least one interaction worth at least one point and the instructor will need to select the option: Allow learners to retake the Bulb upon completion.
Note:
