Brief summary: This is a study seeking to compare the change in overall heart failure (HF) knowledge score and participant preference between video-based and text-based HF education modules. Participants will be randomized to watching and reading different combinations of video-based education modules and text-based education modules. Participants will be asked to answer questions about their familiarity with heart failure medications and management before and after the said education modules.

Detailed description: This study compares the change in heart failure (HF) knowledge and participant preference between video-based and text-based HF education modules. Educational material regarding two different topics - heart failure self-monitoring and medication management - has been developed in two different formats: animated educational videos and text-based documents. Both formats contain the same information. In this study, participants will be randomized to either watching or reading different combinations of the education for these two topics to better understand which educational tool - animated videos or text-based - is preferred by participants and leads to greater educational attainment. Educational attainment is evaluated by pre and post questions about both topics.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF \<50%)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants who have the inability to independently read or answer written questions in English and are non-conversant in English
