How to interact with a video in a pedagogical way
Thanks for the advice and encouragement to share. I hope it is not too large to share. I created three types of video interaction. In the first one, the video stops and asks the user a question. This is easily done with cue points and layers however it is not that easy to score the inputs so I opted for the self-marking scenario where the user can see his/her answers at the end and compare it with the correct answers. In the second one the video branches to a separate screen where the question is asked. Here one can do scoring and a results slide at the end. The third option is where you expect the user to see something in the video and react to it by stopping the video. Typically something to be used where a person views a video of a person taking certain actions and when the person makes a mistake the learner must pick up the mistake and stop the video.
Very interesting use of video interaction. Have you Beta tested it yet, Johann?
Hi Jack we used the first two in a course already but the third one we are still waiting to implement. It is tested by the ID's in the team but not with students yet. We are busy with a SME who indicated that this might be ideal for something she is teaching her students. I hope to implement the third scenario there
Great, Johann. Looking forward to the feedback.
I see utility in all methods depending on where they are used in the instructional strategy and level of learning. From my perspective, initial formative assessment would allow the learner to stop the video and answer questions with immediate feedback. Additional scenarios (different videos) would challenge the learners to view the video without stopping it and have them render time sensitive decisions at key points, perhaps adding cues to make them revisit decisions and/or procedures. Essentially an inexpensive part task trainer. Keep up the good work.
