Learning by Tagging – Supporting Constructive Learning in Video-Based Environments

Abstract

Using video-based learning materials is a common practice in online learning scenarios today. However, the passive consumption of educational video resources tends to go with low engagement of the learners. Adding interactive features to videos might have the potential to overcome this deficit and might lead to more active learning. We have developed an integrated learning flow that incorporates four interactive features supporting constructive learning: video tagging, flashcards, concept maps, and in-video quizzes. We integrated these features into an exisiting blended learning course and evaluated their respective adoption and acceptance in a user study to gain first insights into the general motivation to use the employed features for individual learning.
