In November 2022, Liz du Plessis, Instructional Designer for Missouri Online, presented "Interactive Video Tools for Scenario-Based Learning: Walkthroughs of Storyline, Camtasia, and H5P" as a pre-recorded, on-demand session for the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference online event.

Key Takeaways

  • Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) mimics complex situations and environments to make learning experiences more authentic and transferable.
  • Interactive video provide learners with low-stakes opportunities to rehearse problem-solving.
  • Storyline, Camtasia, and H5P are good options for creating interactive video scenarios.

Note

While H5P is available to all faculty via Pressbooks, Camtasia and Storyline require paid licenses. Missouri Online designers, however, are experts in using these tools and can assist by collaborating with faculty to create learning objects with these tools.
