7 Things You Should Read About Interactive Video

Abstract

Educators increasingly use video content in teaching and learning activities—the amount of available video is expanding rapidly, and rich media have been shown to increase engagement and retention. A growing range of applications and services allows users to add interactive features to existing video or create video that includes questions, branching, game elements, and other enhancements. The resources below explore some of those tools and their effects on higher education teaching and learning.

The "7 Things You Should Read About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides a concise set of resources on emerging learning technologies meant to provide a quick understanding on the topic. You may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution. To learn more, please visit the ELI publications page.
