Subclaims¶

q2 i? Students provided with eight guiding questions while watching a video scored significantly higher on a later test than students watching without special instructions. → Brame Cynthia J 2016 q2 i? Students able to control movement through an interactive video demonstrated better achievement of learning outcomes and greater satisfaction than students with a noninteractive video. → Brame Cynthia J 2016 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r2

The essay reports, citing Lawson et al. (2006), a study in an introductory psychology class where some sections received eight guiding questions while watching a social psychology video: "scored significantly higher on a later test".

"The students who answered the guiding questions while watching the video scored significantly higher on a later test."

q2 · i? · review · r2

The essay reports, citing Zhang et al. (2006), a comparison of interactive and noninteractive video in a computer science course: students who controlled movement "demonstrated better achievement of learning outcomes and greater satisfaction".

"Students who were able to control movement through the video, selecting important sections to review and moving backward when desired, demonstrated better achievement of learning outcomes and greater satisfaction."
