Abstract

Video content is increasingly used in education. At the same time, students are using mobile devices to access educational content or watched video clips which have an informative purpose. Video content, when being accessed on mobile devices, is often adapted to meet the network or mobile device characteristics. The adaptation can not only affect the user experience, but also the capability to assimilate information from the video clips. This research explores how different content types affect the information assimilation when they are adapted. We organised an experimental study considering different quality levels and four video content types: a mini-lecture, a demonstration, an interview and a scenario. We also explore how video quality is affected by the proposed content types.
