Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

This study implemented and examined the effects of a self-paced learning environment-interactive thematic video (ITV) designed to enhance learner's achievement and motivation on e-learning. We integrated the thematic instructional strategy into interactive video-based instruction and investigated the participant's reflection and learning performance through post-test, IMMS and the experimental teaching activities. Participants were divided into experimental group and control group. The comparison of learning achievement and motivation between two groups were also presented. The findings suggested that the proposed ITV could offer a better learning performance on e-learning environment.
