| Project Summary | Students who look at their older textbooks can tell that they are theirs. Their learning history is engraved into the highlights, notes and page folds. In contrast, video players merely support a linear maladaptive viewing experience more suited to music videos than educational content. We bring our research on interactive video and evidence-based pedagogies to support active engagement and learning with personalized video content at UBC. Our video interface, ViDeX, leverages textbook-like affordances for video. ViDeX supports learning with bookmarking, highlighting, ToC, annotation and indexing. ViDeX also supports crowdsourcing by aggregating information across learners, offering students and instructors formative feedback. Finally, ViDeX supports revisiting older videos through advanced search capabilities and by saving personal viewing history. Overall, this project is identifying video needs of students and instructors, and evaluate solution approaches from pedagogical, usability, and technological perspectives, towards more strategic, effective, and active learning from video.
