Evaluating Mutimedia and Active and Passive Learning

Through this week’s study, I understand the difference between active learning and passive learning. I learned through Bloom’s Taxonomy that there are six levels of learning, from basic to advanced: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create. Active learning is when the learner is motivated to learn and treats learning as a motivation, and is interested in the learning content, not only in memorizing and understanding the knowledge, but also in creating new content by understanding and applying the learning content. We have studied Student-centered learning and Problem-based learning in the previous weeks, both related to active learning.

Active learners learn with questions in mind and are willing to find answers. Passive learners are those who see learning as a task and aim to solve it. Group discussions, learning by doing, practical exercises, teaching others and immediate application. In these forms, the student thinks actively and does hands-on work, in the process exercising his comprehension, memory, judgment, problem-solving skills and creativity.In my personal experience, if something interests me and I want to do it better, I tend to pay more attention to the knowledge and information, I am willing to learn about it and even try various tools to make my learning easier and more efficient, and I tend to use the knowledge I have learned well.

I tried the H5P application to complete an interactive video and I know how to add activity questions, multiple choice, fill in the blank and true or false questions to the video. I think adding interactive questions to a video immediately allows learners to check their understanding of the video content and their concentration, whether they missed the video content, and if they answered the question wrong they can immediately go back to check the correct answer, effectively increasing their memory of the knowledge. And H5P is also very convenient to use, not as difficult as I thought, is a helpful teaching tool to use.

I modified a youtube video of vanilla cake making into an interactive video and here are the results:
