Interactive Videos: What Are They and How Can I Make One?

Presenter: Anymir Orellana, Ed.D., Professor, Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice

Description: In a linear video the viewer can stop, pause, and play the content; the user can apply what they learn by pausing as they view or upon finishing the video content. An interactive video encourages the viewer to engage and learn during the viewing experience; the user actively interacts with the video content. In this session, I will introduce, show examples of, and present tools available in SharkMedia (Kaltura) for creating interactive videos. The audience will discuss ideas, opportunities, and challenges for interactive videos in their classes.

Learning Outcomes:
• Identify characteristics and elements in interactive videos.
• Discuss factors to consider when creating interactive videos.
• List main Kaltura features to create interactive videos.
• Discuss ideas, opportunities, and challenges for interactive videos for learning.
