Hello,
I am a new user trying to figure out how to get my app to randomly select 1 of 100 videos to play. I have the videos uploaded on youtube.
For background/context: My app is a simulation of a spoken exam for ESL students (students of English as a Second Language). On the real exam, there are 100 questions, and the person giving the exam will choose ten of those questions at random. I have recorded each of those 100 questions on video (using different actors with different accents/races/genders/ages/etc.) and uploaded those videos on youtube.
I have figured out how to add video to my app. However, where I am running into a problem, is figuring out how to randomize which video plays. Ideally, I would like the users to click a button labeled “GO,” which will then randomly select 1 of those 100 videos to play. I would also like to repeat this 9 times (autoplay 9 other videos), until the user has been asked 10, unique, random questions from the 100 total that I have.
I have a work-around right now in which I have randomized the order of the questions manually, and uploaded them in random order, in ten groups of ten. The user can click on a group of ten (a practice test), and then click on each question individually to get each video to play. The problem with this work-around is that the HCI (human computer interface) seems overly complicated and messy. Because my users have limited English skills, I’d prefer that they push one button (with only the word “go”) than navigate through multiple practice tests with multiple links to videos.
I just started using bubble recently. I’ve gone through the tutorials, and tried searching the forums and youtube lessons for a solution, but haven’t found an answer that I could understand. I thought I might be able to add the video IDs as data, and do a search for that data, and then display the video as random, but I am really struggling to figure out how to work with data.
I appreciate any guidance anyone might have! I’m happy to clarify or give more information if needed. Thank you!
