Topics related to energy transformation and metabolism are important parts of an undergraduate biology curriculum, but these are also topics that students traditionally struggle with. To address this, we have created a short online Interactive Video Vignette (IVV) called . This IVV is designed to help students learn important ideas related to cellular respiration and metabolism. Students in various courses across four institutions were assigned the IVV as an out-of-class preinstruction homework assignment. To test the effectiveness of this IVV on student learning, we collected and analyzed data from questions embedded in the IVV, open response reflection questions, and pre- and postassessments from IVV watchers and nonwatchers. Our analysis revealed that students who completed the IVV activity interacted productively with this online tool and made significant learning gains on important topics related to cellular respiration and metabolism. This IVV is freely available via https://www.rit.edu/cos/interactive/MINT for instructors to adopt for class use.
与能量转换和代谢相关的主题是本科生物学课程的重要组成部分，但这些也是学生传统上难以掌握的主题。为了解决这个问题，我们创建了一个名为 的简短在线交互式视频片段（IVV）。这个IVV旨在帮助学生学习与细胞呼吸和代谢相关的重要概念。来自四个机构的不同课程的学生被指定将IVV作为课外预习作业。为了测试这个IVV对学生学习的有效性，我们收集并分析了来自IVV中嵌入问题、开放式反应反思问题以及IVV观看者和非观看者的课前和课后评估的数据。我们的分析表明，完成IVV活动的学生与这个在线工具进行了有效的互动，并在与细胞呼吸和代谢相关的重要主题上取得了显著的学习进步。教师可以通过https://www.rit.edu/cos/interactive/MINT免费获取这个IVV以供课堂使用。
