| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will establish new methods for implementing edutainment style videos for increasing student engagement with educational materials and concept retention.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project enabled the creation of 58 long form educational chemistry videos and 25 short form educational chemistry videos with the intention of providing high quality, in-depth explanations of chemistry concepts. The videos have proven to be extraordinarily popular, with the 2 top long-form videos achieving over 320,000 views each, the top short video achieving over 2,600,000 views, and the channel as a whole receiving over 11,000,000 views in total so far. This project won the JUCST 2024 Chemistry Communication Prize 化学コミュニケーション賞受賞（化学情報協会）The research has generated a great deal of cross-over statistical data beyond simple viewer numbers such as nationality, age, sex, retention (percentage of a video viewed), and engagement.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The videos were published to a multi-lingual, global audience, free of charge, by means of the YouTube video sharing platform. This project has reached tens of thousands of students from all over the world, including countries from the lowest levels of the Human Development Index.
