Interactive Video Enhanced Learning-Teaching Process for Digital Native Students

Nowadays the use of video is a natural process for digital natives´ students. Several aspects of instructional video in e-learning or in a traditional learning have not yet been well investigated. A major problem with the use of instructional video has been lack of interactivity [1]. It´s difficult manage video, students cannot directly jump to a particular part of a video or add some explanations to a specific part by the teacher or the student. Browsing a not interactive video is more difficult and time consuming, because people have to view and listen to the video sequentially this remains a linear process. We defined and developed an interactive platform video online system to allow proactive and random access to video content based on questions or search targets, use of an interactive word glossary, dictionary, an online books, educational video resources, extra explanations for the teachers and comments for students in real time. If learners can determine what to construct or create, they are more likely to engage in learning. Interactive video increases learner-content interactivity, thus potentially motivating students and improving learning effectiveness [1]. We are evaluating this system at some universities of Mexico.
