I was told that it should bea video-based, self-directed course that students could complete at their own pace. While I had plenty of experience designing and facilitating synchronous online courses with asynchronous elements, this was the first time I had to design a completely asynchronous, self-directed course for ELLs.  \nI was excited by this new challenge, but I also found it a little daunting. As a teacher, I knew how important ongoing feedback and assessment are in informing both student learning and my own teaching. I couldn’t help but wonder how providing useful feedback would be possible in a one-way learning environment like that of a MOOC. I also wondered what effect it would have on students’ engagement.Would they actually do the exercises and activities they were prompted to do in the video, or would they just fast-forward to the next part? Then I discovered an invaluable tool that revolutionized the way I thought about asynchronous online learning: interactive video.  \nInteractive video is a multimedia tool that allows the viewer to actively engage with the  \ncontent in the video by making choices and inputting data.While the teacher may present material via video just as they would in an in-person class, with interactive video  \nthey can also involve the students who are watching by asking them to interact with given exercises or tasks. In an English language online lesson or course, this interaction might involve clicking on the correct picture which corresponds to a vocabulary item, completing a conversation onscreen, or answering comprehension questions about a role play or presentation the student has just watched. Lessons can even be designed to permit students to make choices about the content they will experience, which allows for personalized, multilevel learning.The best part is that it is all done within one streamlined video  \n14  \nENGLISH  \nTEACHING  \nF OR UM  \n2 02 5  \n[americanenglish.state.gov/forum](americanenglish.state.gov/forum)  \nexperience that keeps students engaged while informing them of their progress.  \nIn this article, I will describe the potential benefits of interactive video, describe how this technology works and how to get started with it, give suggestions for how to apply it to a variety of teaching contexts, and even provide a sample lesson plan that shows some of the ways interactive video can be used to support student learning.  \nWHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF INTERACTIVE VIDEO TO INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT?  \nWhile the effects of using conventional (static) video content as an online learning tool have been extensively researched (e.g. , Guo, Kim, and Rubin 2014; Sablic´ , Mirosavljevic´ , and Škugor 2020;Yousef, Chatti, and Schroeder 2014), studies surrounding the effects of using interactive video content specifically are not as plentiful, as this technology is relatively new and has not yet become mainstream. However, research done up to this point indicates that interactive technology has a positive effect on learners. In a study by Longmuir (2014), the traditional lecture presentation approach was replaced with an interactive computerassisted instructional method in a course atthe University of California, Irvine. According to an anonymous survey, students indicated a strong preference for the interactive content, noting they absorbed the subject matter faster than they would have in a traditional lecture format.  \nIn a study of a hybrid university course on sustainability sci","cbCaid2fCOFyM2hr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid2fCOFyM2hr","pdf",219636,"English","# Using interactive video to boost engagement\n## Research evidence on engagement\n## How interactive video works","[{\"question\":\"What is interactive video and how does it increase learner engagement?\",\"answer\":\"Interactive video lets viewers actively engage by making choices and entering responses in the video.
