q2 · i? · design · r2

Observational report from classroom use of the video sequencer interface, in the Results section. Each segment is numbered and shown as a colored square on a line; the author notes "60 segments for a 3-minute video will be much easier to listen than 10" as the students' perceived workload cue.

"Unexpectedly, most students stop the video after three or four sequences have been played, just to see the "menu" of their work."
