• In Event: Methods for Understanding Behaviors
  In Roundtable Session: Methods for Understanding Behaviors-RTD

Short Description

Videos are one of common media for online learning. How different the presentation style impact on student performance and experiences has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study explores how two commonly used video types, (1) screen-capture with narratives, and (2) cartoon animation, affect students’ performance and experiences. A user study with first-year college students (n=53) was conducted to examine the effects of both types of video on learning performance and experiences. The presentation shares detailed results and students’ comments.
