Optimalisasi Video Edukasi: Upaya Meningkatkan Kesadaran Masyarakat Dalam Mematuhi Protokol Kesehatan Di Era New Normal

Early in 2020, we are welcomed by the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak. The lack of public awareness to always comply with health protocols is one of the triggers of the increasing number of Covid-19 spread in Indonesia. The lack of parental awareness of the importance of disciplining their children to always comply with health protocol regulations, such as not wearing a mask, not keeping distance, and awareness to wash their hands is one of the causes of the spread of covid-19. Therefore, efforts are needed to raise awareness of parents and children to comply with health protocols in the midst of the covid-19 outbreak through educational videos. This service is carried out by conducting socialization accompanied by the creation of children's educational videos about covid-19 and how health protocols should be carried out. This service was done to the villagers of Bagelen as many as 40 parents and their children. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire of awareness of the master / child to the dangers of covid-19.

Video Design for Online Courses

With the widespread use of instructional technology in the classroom environment, learning materials are designed according to the interests and needs of learners at different levels. These materials offer flexibility to learners and teachers about time and space. In the information age we live in, many digital materials are used to make learning more effective and permanent. When it comes to digital material, digital texts, videos, presentations, simulations, and animations come to mind. Videos that appeal to both visual and auditory senses appear as important teaching materials. Educational videos, one of the important digital learning resources, are also used in both traditional teaching and contemporary learning approaches. Many studies have shown that educational videos are a very important learning tool in face-to-face and online learning environments. In this context, the aim of this chapter is to talk about the design of educational videos that can be used in online courses in accordance with the principles of multimedia.

Educational Film Experiment at Workplaces: Can Sex-Role Attitudes and Work and Life Balance Capabilities Related to Maternity Be Treated?

In order to understand the impact of educational videos on the sex-role attitudes and perceptions of maternity at workplaces, an experimental research design was selected. Our survey data originates from a randomized control trial of 262 employees across Estonian organisations. After using a randomization method to select five companies from Estonian company TOP 100 ranking, an equal size control and treatment groups within these companies were randomly selected. Employees of the control group were treated with a 20-minute educational film which was designed originally for highschool students for treating a traditional male-breadwinner type of sex-role attitudes. Research goal was to explore whether an educational film as a teaching tool could be also used in organisations to affect sex role attitudes and challenges of work and life balance with focus on maternity at workplaces. Survey data collection was arranged in companies by randomly splitting the employees into treatment and control groups, and they were guided through the experiment via written instructions and HR specialist support. For data analysis, author used descriptive analysis to measure the differences between the control and treatment group by analysing employees’ responses to 20 individual statements in Likert scale, with a focus on sex-role attitudes and maternity challenges questions. More specifically, author compared the differences between control and treatment group as well as the gender differences across the two groups (i.e whether an educational film had a greater affect to one over the other sex). This experiment suggests which topics in educational videos could positively affect sex-role attitudes and perceptions of maternity at workplace. The article also makes suggestions how context supporting training tools can be used together with educational videos at workplaces.

Deaf and Hard-of-hearing Users Evaluating Designs for Highlighting Key Words in Educational Lecture Videos

There are style guidelines for authors who highlight important words in static text, e.g., bolded words in student textbooks, yet little research has investigated highlighting in dynamic texts, e.g., captions during educational videos for Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) users. In our experimental study, DHH participants subjectively compared design parameters for caption highlighting, including: decoration (underlining vs. italicizing vs. boldfacing), granularity (sentence level vs. word level), and whether to highlight only the first occurrence of a repeating keyword. In partial contrast to recommendations in prior research, which had not been based on experimental studies with DHH users, we found that DHH participants preferred boldface, word-level highlighting in captions. Our empirical results provide guidance for the design of keyword highlighting during captioned videos for DHH users, especially in educational video genres.
