| Project Summary | The pandemic has increased instructional reliance on video recordings of lecture content. Similarly, to make space for more interactive classroom activities, content is more often being shifted online. These online materials (text and video), ironically mimic the passivity that instructors strive to move away from. This project aims to develop a suite of branching interactive videos that turn traditional videos (that encourage passive consumption of knowledge) into videos that (a) actively engage students in the learning process and (b) provide real-time differentiated video feedback based on the students’ responses to the interactive components of the video. Moreover, we plan to create a specialized branching interactive video that interactively details how to make these branching interactive videos so that interested educators can make use of this powerful method of content delivery. |
