Multimedia Skills: Update My First Interactive Video With H5P

My first interactive video with H5P is about a lesson plan. This video only includes words and one simple interactive question, with no voice and no other explanation. Thus, I make some changes in order to provide a better multimedia interactive experience.

Firstly, I add narration to deepen the audience’s catch of the keyword. This is because audiences can learn better in the Modality principle, which means people learn better from pictures and narration than pictures and printed text. I use sound guidance to let the audience follow the narrative and learn new knowledge. Also, adding narration can attract more attention.

Secondly, I add an example of the HDI calculation. The example is related to Worked examples principle. People can learn better from the example provided. This is because providing examples can reduce the audience’s cognitive burden, especially learning new knowledge.

Finally, I change my H5P question, and I also add more H5P questions. In my about two minutes of video, I found that the previous interactive problem was too simple. Therefore, I have updated them to ensure the changes are more useful and detailed to the audience. In my goal, these interactive questions can make the audience understand my lesson plan more fully. The feedback principle has been used more accurately to improve questions because the audience receives feedback from the correct rate of multiple choices.

At the same time, I added an HDI graph in this post showing four tiers of development. Although I did not add this graph in the video, I added four levels of data to the video. For better multimedia principles, I add this graph in this word post, and multimedia principles help audiences understand knowledge from images and text. From this graph, we can understand the development prospects of different countries or regions on HDI.

Thus, I focus on the modality principle, the worked examples principle, the feedback principle, and the multimedia principles in this post to improve my explanation and help people understand HDI.
