The content of the interaction video is capable of generating unique sensations as they allow the learner to follow their own path when making decisions.

For the student who interacts with this type of videos, it is valid that he makes a mistake and from that mistake he manages to arrive at the correct answer.

However, under his own learning process where he solves the problem himself, walks at his own pace, identifies why he is wrong and, in turn, internalizes the correct path.

You include different paths that the student can take with their respective feedback. This not only ensures that participants are on their toes, but also allows you to verify that they are really learning.
