Disadvantages of using non-linear video in shallow learning situations : A critical perspective on current trends
Abstract: Video learning material has reported benefits to in-person lectures, and it can improve knowledge transfer (Bishop & Verleger, 2013; Kim, 2013). Modern educational methods such as flipped classroom and MOOCs (MOOC, 2016) depend on implementing video as a learning resource. Furthermore, the traditional linear video has long been challenged by nonlinear video, both in terms of having interactive material (Zhang et al. 2006) and sectioned, indexed contents. In a critical approach (Bardzell, J & Bardzell, S, 2013) we investigated disadvantages to the non-linear way of using video; in particular if non-linear video streamlines the retrieval of information. We conducted an observational experiment to examine the efficiency of non-linear video compared to linear video. Results from the observation experiment conducted in this thesis, shows that the non-linear video group tended to answer less questions, within the same amount of time as the group which used the linear video.
