Abstract
One of the challenges found with learning using a lecture video is the short attention span of students due to high cognitive load when they are watching the video. Several methods have been proposed to increase students’ attention, such as segmenting learning content into smaller pieces where each piece has short video duration. In this study we proposed an enhanced monologue lecture video with a tutee agent to mimic the dialogue between a tutor and a tutee to increase student attention to the lecture video. Based on lab evaluation including eye fixations data from an eye tracker, the videos enhanced with the tutee agent make the students’ attention more frequent to the learning material presented in the lecture video and at the same time lowering their attention span to it.
