Overview
This is a simple microlearning video featuring nature and landmarks in Japan. Short and targeted microlearning video can contain information concisely and deliver it quickly. This interactive video embedded with quizzes help the learner recall existing knowledge and validate it in one minute.
Challenge
One of the challenges I have seen often in corporations is developing engaging videos. Videos that only transfer information or push content to learners are boring for viewers.
Design a Prototype
The learning objective is to recall existing knowledge about Japan through watching videos and answering three quizzes.
Given the simple structure of the video, I developed a prototype directly on Articulate Storyline.
This one-minute screencast has no audio. Try quizzes from the button below.
Solution: Develop an one-minute-video
Embedded multiple-choice quizzes stop the video for learners to answer, and if the answers are incorrect, you can try two times.
Utilizing Storyline’s state, layers, and trigger functions increases the frequency of interaction. It also returns appropriate feedback to answers. At the end, the total score is shown in the result, which can be tracked in the LMS.
You can try the quizzes on the Articulate Review 360 platform.
Result
Videos are a great tool for turning passive video viewers into active participants. This sample video is simple, but it can be expanded into a longer video or gamified clip to gain more engagement.
