Assignment 3A: Updating Multimedia Learning Object

For H5P purposes, this blog is under my new WordPress site. My main blog site is: https://adamr619.edublogs.org/

Above is my updated H5P video for learning about adding third-party subtitles to Netflix. I have altered and improved various materials by applying the Multimedia learning principles in order to make it a better H5P video for learning.

I mainly made two types of changes. The first one is that I improved the Signalling Principle. The original H5P video also consists of elements that apply to the Signalling Principle. This time, I decided to improve the object using the blackened font and italics to emphasize and remind learners of the important contents.

The second type of change I made is to improve the influence of the Feedback Principle. In the first H5P video I made, when students check an answer, they only know whether they are correct, but that is the only feedback they get, which is inefficient to learn better. I made several small alterations. For example, now there is a scoring system that keeps the score of all the questions learners have answered. At the end of the video, the viewer can see his/her score as a summary. Another improvement I made is that the viewers will now get feedback comments after answering every question. This way, students learn much more efficiently and will be given suggestions when they hit a bump somewhere.

The improvements I made strengthened the Signalling principle and Feedback principle. Students can now focus on the essential contents and know how they did along the way and at the end of the lesson video.

H5P Video:

The key reasons why creating a multimedia lesson plan before creating multimedia content is so important:

Creating a multimedia lesson plan means preparing for a class. Even the most experienced teacher should be prepared. The instructor should ensure the design process of a multimedia lesson. A goal for the students is the first thing to think about. By making sure to combine others’ ideas and your own ideas together as strategies for students learning will benefit the audience. If an instructor teaches before he prepares, the entire course content may be without logic and difficult for students’ learning.

The H5P video technique we studied is vital to better multimedia learning. For example, the information that the textboxes give directly relates to the Signalling Principle. The text boxes highlight the key information that the students need to know. The multiple question boxes also reflect the Signalling Principle, but it relates more directly to the Feedback principle, the H5P tool allows me to add a performance scale for the learners so that they know how they did with understanding the key materials from the video.
