【Fractional Equations in Mathematical Algebra for Junior High School Students】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1UE421P7FC/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=007e3c80fe9d934af0a959580c5c5d44
This video is from a Chinese video website called bilibili, which mainly explains in detail how to calculate an algebraic equation. This video itself lacks interactive content and is mainly explained by traditional teachers. So this video also does not require learners to make fixed responses. Compared to classroom teaching, but in terms of this video, the interactivity is almost zero.
After watching this video, learners are more likely to follow the problem-solving approach in their calculations because the content does not explain the theorem. In this situation, learners cannot engage in reflection, but can only be provided with examples. But the functionality of this video website itself allows learners to engage in further activities.
In this picture, it can be seen that the video website has built-in AI analysis of video content. Although it is not perfect, it can provide a simple overview. For example, in the pop-up window on the right, the steps required for calculating algebraic equations are introduced. Learners can directly obtain concise text to assist in understanding video content.
In addition, the website also has a simple note taking function. Not only can a video image be inserted, but it can also provide the video time where the image is located. At the same time, this note also has a sharing function, where learners can directly send their notes to the comments section, so that other learners can also understand the other person’s thoughts and learning situation. Similarly, teachers can also receive feedback through these notes.
This video does not have this feature, but Bilibili’s video format can be set as an interactive video. As shown in the figure, after playing a video, the audience can make choices, and different choices will continue to play different videos. This means that I can create an exercise video for learners to make choices. The correct choice will receive the correct answer, while the wrong choice can be given an explanatory video.
This type of learning through video is much easier compared to meetings on Zoom, and it is also more convenient for students to share and receive responses. Some learners may not be good at direct communication with others, and sharing notes can compensate for the evaluation and reflection between learners.
Bilibili is a great platform and I have been using it for many years. Compared to short-video app such as TikTok, Bilibili has higher quality of videos because there are many authors who are really good in some fields. I have watched some Bilibili video which have some interactive function when audience are watching videos. There will be some small grading system during the video and some video are more like games which audience can choose what will happen next. Those are all good interactions
That’s really interesting! I haven’t heard of this platform myself but it’s fascinating to the potential benefits of AI content analysis here with respect to improving accessibility. Do you feel that this would be an appropriate/effective platform for mainstream curriculums?
