Enhancing How People Learn Procedural Tasks Through How-to Videos

Humans learn skills to perform various tasks in their everyday lives. While how-to videos serve as a popular tool for people to learn skills and achieve tasks, there are limitations in learning from videos such as difficulties in accessing information in need or lack of personalized support. My Ph.D. research aims to enhance how people learn procedural tasks through how-to videos by understanding and improving the consumption of video content, application of the content to their own context, and reflection on the experiences. This research presents opportunities and insights into how we could better leverage videos for humans to learn skills and achieve tasks.
