Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for comparing different videos pertaining to a topic. Two different versions of an educational video may be compared using split comparison testing. A set of questions may be provided along with each video about the topic taught in the video. Users may view one of the videos and answer the questions. Data about the user responses may be aggregated and used to determine which video more effectively conveys information to the viewer based on the question responses.
Claims20
A method for comparing online educational videos, said method comprising:
- storing, in a memory, a first video about a topic including at least one question relating to content of the first video and a second video about the same topic including at least one question relating to content of the second video;
- receiving a first request for a video to be displayed on a first user interface and a second request for a video to be displayed on a second user interface;
- providing, in response to the first request, the first video, and providing, in response to the second request, the second video;
- receiving, information about a user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the first video and information about a user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the second video;
- and
- displaying, with aid of a processor, an analysis of the information about the user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the first video and the information about the user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the second video, thereby aiding in a determination of whether the first video conveys the topic more effectively or the second video conveys the topic more effectively.
The method of claim 15 wherein the analysis of the information includes a number of participants that answered the at least one question relating to the content of the first video correctly and a number of participants that answered that at least one question relating to the content of the second video correctly.
A system for comparing online educational videos, said system comprising:
- a memory configured to store a first video about a topic including at least one question relating to content of the first video and a second video about the same topic including at least one question relating to content of the second video;
- and
- one or more processors individually or collectively configured to:
- receive a first request for a video to be displayed on a first user interface and a second request for a video to be displayed on a second user interface;
- generate, in response to the first request, an instruction to provide the first video, and provide, in response to the second request, an instruction to provide the second video;
- receive, information about a user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the first video and information about a user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the second video;
- analyze the information about the user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the first video and the information about the user response to the at least one question relating to the content of the second video;
- and
- generate an instruction to show, on a display, the analysis of the information, thereby aiding in a determination of whether the first video conveys the topic more effectively or the second video conveys the topic more effectively.
