Affective role of video content in recycle learning

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the affective role of multimedia learning, specifically on video as a medium to tell the stories for recycling awareness. Recycling has become an important agenda in today's society and addressing the awareness of recycling has become critically important in education. Affective learning is one of the ways to achieve learning motivation, intention and therefore action for recycling. Using Video as a communication tool to motivate the learners is considered as a way of learning interaction. Therefore, video design with affective intention in mind can be an effective way to foster awareness and subsequently learning. This paper intends to explain the processes and content used for creating a recycling workshop promotional video that potentially evoke the affective domain of the young learners between 15 – 30 years old, in a storytelling kind of progression. This video will serve as a platform of communication with the audience about the importance and impact of plastic pollution. Future directions of research on this project is to create more such videos for recycling awareness and actions.
