further investigation. However, the first and primary effort is the development of multimedia
content and the process for online delivery. Data analytics provided by YouTube will be
examined later to gain more insight about the metrics to improve the student learning experience.

Table 4 lists samples from the engineering department from the four instructor. Since most of
the instructors are new to making videos online, major features of Camtasia have not been used.

Although there are some videos using PowerPoint, a majority of the videos in Channels 1 and 2
are based on recordings of writing on a laptop tablet. These recordings are often referred to as
whiteboard or scribed videos which are popular and uploaded to YouTube during 2008. Videos
in Channel 3 are done mostly in PowerPoint with embedded YouTube videos consisting of a
mixed of recorded PhET simulations, MATLAB/Simulink demonstrations, and live videos.

Some of the videos use green-screen techniques and kinetic text. There are also character
animations found in Channels 1 and 2.

In addition, there are some scientific and psychological explanation on why whiteboard or scribe
videos which is like doodling disguised as deep thinking are effective for instruction9,10.

Whiteboard (or Scribe) Videos and the Dopamine Effect

Wiseman’s?? research has shown that scribe or whiteboard videos gain and hold attention as well
as preliminary data shown back in Tables 4. Table 5 shows the results from some of Professor
Santiago’s popular videos. Whiteboard videos put people in a better mood rather than having the
audience view a PowerPoint presentation reading all that text.
