fictitious things (stories, fairy tales, and the like). The videos can be
grouped into three types: informative, educative, and instructive.

playback feature so that the material can be played repeatedly until

students can understand the whole material. In addition, the slow motion
feature can also be good learning support because it can increase the
focus of students.
