Technical Reports Eliminating Breakdown of Understanding in Video-Driven Hypermedia.
Video is an engaging but expensive component of hypermedia.
Significant cost savings can be made by reusing clips from already existing video. However, part of the story created by the original video producer will be lost and with it some of the original meaning. Hypermedia developers are aware of this problem but often pay attention only to the large chunks that they select and loss of small but important details are not noticed. Missing pieces of vital information cause breakdowns in users' understanding, which developers need to be aware of so that they can fix. The method involves users asking questions about the video clips.
