Learning videos I’ve created
I’ve tried to introduce the content in short sentences and show the whole process avoiding meaningless content, avoiding Extraneous Load as much as possible and using a warm tone as much as possible. Trying to conform to most of Mayer’s principles. I uploaded the video to Youtube because Youtube offers the option of automatic captioning, which helps hearing impaired or non-native English speakers or mute viewers!
My Twine Adventures
I created a short branched narrative story about Neil’s dungeon adventures encountering problems with the distribution of treasure chest rewards. Neil was really unlucky. By practicing using Twine, I discovered what it can do for learning, which I’ll describe later in the reflection.

Reflection
What was the experience like capturing video away from the screencast? What did you find challenging and what was easier for you? What would you do differently next time?
From my personal point of view, I’m not a person who likes to be in front of the camera, I wouldn’t remember what I was going to say while looking at the camera and the nerves can’t be avoided. But thankfully, having done the video script and storyboard ahead of time, I knew what to expect, and my cell phone recording was timed right with my webcam video, so I could easily fit it together. Next time I won’t go for this type of recording, I’d be more inclined to use Zoom recording or something like that, where I can record both my screen and camera together at the same time. It would be much more convenient, as well as easy to upload. Also, I will try to use softer natural light, I felt the light behind me in my video was brighter than the surrounding . As well as that I will use a normal webcam, since I record my face on my tablet, the bedroom tool holds it up. And my computer camera is very blurry so I need better equipment for recording.
What learning experience does a branched narrative like Twine provide for learners? Where else do you come across branched narratives?
Interactive learning experiences with branched narrative are like old-fashioned text adventure games, where you move the story forward by choosing different actions. When we apply this kind of experience to learning, we can allow learners to think for themselves, choose the direction they want to go, and give them the opportunity to correct mistakes and make new choices. It can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm and motivation of learners. In addition to games, major video or shopping sites also have branching narratives that provide personalized recommendations based on the type of video the user chooses to watch or the type of product the user browses or buys. As with branching narratives, the next recommendation is based on the user’s behavior.
