If analysis shows that learners are saying the wrong thing due to a common misconception, a branching scenario that allows learners make mistakes and see the consequence would probably be effective. But what if learners know what they should be saying, but just aren\u2019t doing it?<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the customer service video, most employees would know it\u2019s not OK to ignore the customer while talking with colleagues. In this case, a branching scenario with obvious correct choices may seem superficial. In this context, an engaging video may be more effective for changing learners\u2019 behaviors. And the added interactivity that requires learners to capture what they observe turns a passive exercise into an interactive one that is more likely to be remembered and applied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Validation and feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What about the feedback? In our example, the learners\u2019 responses aren\u2019t validated \u2013 but they could be. What do you think? Can a self-evaluation like the one in the example be effective, or will learners take the easy way out and not make thoughtful comments? Does it depend on the motivation level of your learners?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll soon be adding this video interaction as a SmartBuilder template, so if you have ideas for making this interaction better, or other ideas for video-based templates, let us know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a new elearning example on our website using a funny interactive video.
