Leveraging Fragmented Time to Solve Major Issues in Online Education
In recent years, online education has remained a hot trend. However, alongside its rapid growth, some issues have also surfaced.
How to capture students' interest is a challenge not only for online education but also for traditional education. Lengthy video lessons are similar to the traditional 45-minute classroom sessions. When learners study without clear direction, they often zone out from time to time, missing important knowledge points. This is not solely a problem of course content; as study time increases, mental fatigue grows, making it normal for viewers to lose focus while watching videos.
How to solve this? Shorten the videos.
Moreover, as the pace of life accelerates, very few people can truly sit attentively in front of a computer and watch a 30-minute instructional video from start to finish. Most prefer to browse through learning videos in a non-linear fashion, which leads to students not knowing where the key points are and repeatedly skipping over important knowledge. Many ask, "Why don't you just watch the entire video?" The answer is simple: lack of time. People simply don't have the long stretches needed to watch a full video.
How to solve this? Shorten the videos.
Fragmented time is a unique characteristic of people living in today's fast-paced world. The time people have is no longer continuous. These time slots can be as long as half an hour or as short as five to seven minutes. How can online education make use of this fragmented time? By creating short videos. Present a teaching video in segments, where each small knowledge point becomes a separate video.
