Educational Video Ecosystems: An Interactive Mind Map‐Driven Approach

A C TIn an era where digital learning is becoming increasingly vital, the need for effective educational tools that can adapt to the demands of diverse learners is becoming more urgent.The speed of the Internet has improved dramatically owing to the growth of Internet-based technologies and networks, which has made video content the most significant medium for distributing information.Additionally, advancements in online video sharing and production platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, have made it easier for individuals to create and share videos.Research shows that videobased learning can increase engagement, critical thinking, and knowledge retention when aligned with learning objectives and interactive elements.But with numerous videos being produced on these sites, finding videos which provide the information they need has become increasingly difficult for users.In this paper, we present a video search platform built on a mind map architecture.The mind map is an effective and efficient tool and a valuable method for promoting critical thinking.It helps people to start exploring and expanding the topics in a way that mirrors the brain's natural processes.We developed MVP (Mind Map-Based Video Searching Platform), a service that allows users to create mind maps and upload videos to each node within the mind map as well as learners to search for mind maps created by other users or generated by AI.
