Impact of quiz-based interactive videos into personal learning environment on regulating e-portfolio design and learning engagement: An experimental study

Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, attention has shifted in an unprecedented way to online teaching. This has required innovative methods within online milieux to empower students learning following their own preferences and rhythm. Employing artificial intelligence (AI) represents a fruitful avenue for designing interactive videos in personal learning environments (PLE), consequently changing the face of e-learning. In this experimental design, a series of ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation) framework-based and quiz-based interactive videos are developed on E-Portfolio instructional content. This study required students to interact with the videos remotely and answer short quizzes to check understanding. Students were required to provide the correct answers to proceed. If incorrect answers were provided, the content was repeated. The level of engagement and design skills were pre- and post-tested on an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 32 students with a total of 64 at Mansoura University in 2019-2020. The results of the study indicate a statistically significant difference for deploying interactive videos on e-portfolio design skills and learning engagement. The study contributes to knowledge of how interactive quiz-based videos as a source of self-feedback for their level of attention, performance and comprehension. The limitation of the study is that it is a small scale and subsequent case studies could be useful. Further studies are recommended to verify the cognitive processes and performance self-assessment nexus.
