Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of short videos on student performance in an online-flipped college engineering course. The study, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, compared student engagement and final exam scores between groups using short (8-minute average) and long (55-minute) videos. Results showed that short videos significantly improved student engagement (24.7% increase in viewing time) and final exam scores (9.0% increase) compared to the long-video group. A Likert questionnaire confirmed students' preference for shorter videos.
