Abstract

The segmentation principle is an important principle to promote learning in multimedia and video learning. This study explored the effects of testing and feedback on segmentation. Experiment 1 compared two conditions of watching segmented video and testing during segmented pauses. Results showed that testing during pauses improved learning performance. Experiment 2 compared three conditions of watching segmented video, testing during pauses, and testing and receiving feedback during pauses. Results showed that there was no difference between testing group and video group; and learners who received feedback performed best on tests. The results indicate that testing and feedback in segmented videos have positive effects and potential significance for multimedia and online learning.
