information presented in a video clip decreases
with an increase in the clip’s duration. More
specifically, in my opinion students tend to

approach in the introductory and interdisciplinary
module GEK2505
An introductory video of about 8

had viewed the video at least once, which was
obvious from their active participation and
response to my questions during the actual
