How Long Should a Branching Scenario Be?<\/a><\/strong>— from christytuckerlearning.com by Christy Tucker
\nHow long should a branching scenario be? Is 45 minutes too long? Is there an ideal length for a branching scenario?<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of the time, the branching scenarios and simulations I build are around 10 minutes long. Overall, I usually end up at 5-15 minutes for branching scenarios, with interactive video scenarios being at the longer end.<\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nThis makes sense to me, as (up to) 6 minutes turned out to be an ideal length for videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt from Optimal Video Length for Student Engagement<\/strong><\/a><\/em>\u00a0— from blog.edx.org<\/p>\n

The optimal video length is 6 minutes or shorter \u2014 students watched most of the way through these short videos. In fact, the average engagement time of any video maxes out at 6 minutes, regardless of its length. And engagement times decrease as videos lengthen: For instance, on average students spent around 3 minutes on videos that are longer than 12 minutes, which means that they engaged with less than a quarter of the content. Finally, certificate-earning students engaged more with videos, presumably because they had greater motivation to learn the material. (These findings appeared in a recent Wall Street Journal article,\u00a0An Early Report Card on Massive Open Online Courses<\/a>\u00a0and its accompanying infographic<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The take-home message for instructors is that, to maximize student engagement, they should work with instructional designers and video producers to break up their lectures into small, bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
