Interactive videos are frequently employed in education. Although several reviews and syntheses indicate that interactively engaging with videos might benefit learning, up until now no quantitative synthesis of the effectiveness of enhanced interaction features in educational videos has been published. Enhanced interaction features explicitly aim…

Educational videos have become an important part of higher education, providing an important content-delivery tool in many flipped, blended, and online classes. Effective use of video as an educational tool is enhanced when instructors consider three elements: how to manage cognitive load of the video; how to maximize student engagement with the…

Reviews research on video in management education to identify uses. Recommends (1) using video for heightening affective arousal and responsiveness to instruction; (2) increasing comprehension from videos by having an educational objective in mind; and (3) recognizing that content comprehension is best attained through print.

Discusses the effectiveness of interactive video systems and their use in teacher education programs. Reports on preservice and in-service teacher education programs that use interactive video are reviewed, and topics for future research using a component-based definition of interactive video systems are suggested (41 references) (LRW)

This volume is a blend of media research, cognitive science research, and tradecraft knowledge regarding video production techniques. The research covers: visual learning; verbal-auditory information; news broadcasts; the value of motion and animation in film and video; simulation (including realism and fidelity); the relationship of text and…

Discusses the progress and potential of using technology in the teaching of foreign languages. The foreign language teaching profession will benefit greatly from this new technology by avoiding unsubstantiated claims of the superiority of the machine in teaching, and by planning for well-paced and organized integration of educational technology.…

The combined effects of orienting activities and levels of practice on learning from interactive video were examined in this study. The 72 college students who participated in the study were randomly assigned to either a group that received an orienting activity (i.e., a brief statement designed to prepare learners for the information to come) or…

This paper explores the insights that psychology can offer in shedding light on why hypermedia may work and thus in suggesting fruitful areas for future research. The philosophy underlying the paper is that research into the instructional efficacy of hypermedia should begin with a knowledge and appreciation of relevant psychological phenomena.…

Several quasi-experimental and experimental studies of learning outcomes associated with Oral Communication across the Curriculum (OCXC) activities have been conducted at Radford University, Virginia. Two such studies assessing the effectiveness of OCXC in non-speech courses highlight the difficulties involved in conducting research into…

This review of the literature on interactive video examines research and evaluation reports in the context of the continuing debate over the effectiveness of media debate and Richard E. Clark's argument that media do not have a substantial impact on learning. The literature is examined from four perspectives: (1) behavioral issues (e.g., whether…

This paper summarizes the results of a review of the empirical literature (1999-2003) focusing on the use of instructor-created video recording incorporating personalized video to teach individuals with disabilities. Twenty-four investigations were identified which provided information on several effective procedures. Six areas of research on…

This paper argues that formative evaluation of instruction, which is generally agreed to be critical for instruction in any medium, is even more crucial when the instruction is to be delivered by interactive technologies such as computers, interactive video, hypermedia, or the various forms of interactive multimedia systems. It begins by…

Reviews four studies that capture the present and potential impact of videoconferencing and outlines what needs to be done before videoconferencing is commonly used in education. Discusses instructional effectiveness, cost, factors that affect its success, and videoconferencing compared to other forms of communications. (Author/LRW)

The article reviews a 10-year history of research on videodisc programs with handicapped and nonhandicapped students. A trend from hardware-intensive programs concerned with physical individualization and self-pacing to more modest hardware involvement and a greater attention to the teacher's role in both group and individual instructional…

Review of the research literature focuses on research comparing computer-assisted instruction with conventional instruction; basic research issues for instructional technology; implications of the information processing model; implications of cognitive strategies and knowledge organization for instructional technology; computers as tools for…
