motivation?
•  What didactic approaches and methods do interactive
videos involve?
•  How can learning analysis methods applied to
interactive videos support the teacher?
Interactive videos – a challenge
https://pixabay.com/de/illustrations/interaktion-social-media-abstrakt-1233873/
•  Passive consumption
•  Learning from a tin can
•  Missing interactivity
•  Learners’ short attention spans
•  Replacement for in-class teaching
•  Difficult and time-consuming to produce

•  Not limited in time or place
•  Individualized learning pace
•  Search options for finding specific content
•  Reproducibility of processes, workflows, and complex
interrelations
Learning with videos: advantages #1

•  Course records preserve the events of the lecture hall
•  Short tutorials focus on specific, difficult, but important
subjects
•  Live streaming of a lecture enables students to attend and
take part from anywhere
•  Perfect for exam preparation
Learning with videos: advantages #2

•  “Illusion of knowing”: passive video playback is not
sufficient to understand or process the shown material
•  Jump labels allow viewers to control the flow of information
and focus on key details
•  Questions within the video connected to jump labels
personalize the video in regard to the given answer
•  Self-assessment questions within videos help students to
reflect on their own learning ability
Learning with interactive videos
https://pixabay.com/de/illustrations/interaktion-social-media-abstrakt-1233873/
•  Videos are main parts of Massive Open Online Courses
•  Videos are main teaching methods in combination with
flipped classroom or inverse blended learning
•  Interactivity helps to ensure a high rate of watching videos,
which is important, when doing online classes
•  Learning analytics methods allow teachers to monitor and
evaluate their students’ performance, in order to improve
their teaching material and better focus on their students’
needs.
