The document emphasizes the use of multimedia, specifically student-created videos, to enhance the learning of history, focusing on the Cold War. It highlights key pedagogical characteristics such as autonomy, adaptability, and creativity, which promote active and student-centric learning experiences. Case studies reveal that engaging in such projects fosters deeper understanding and retention of historical content, encouraging collaboration and inquiry-based learning among students.

- 8. Case Study: What was the experience and use of doing your own history music video? Multiple Perspectives Complex discussions “There are so many ways to do this project, by dates or by countries. We had to discuss the format, how to approach this video, how are we going to showcase this video.”
- 9. Case Study: What was the experience and use of doing your own history music video? Open source and broad understanding “When you read your textbook, all the things that you are going to say for O levels is just from the textbook. It doesn’t go beyond that. But this project, the research, it helps you to bring in material from other sources. From the internet. From other study books. And it gives you a broader understanding even though it might not be directly relevant to your O levels. A broader understanding is I feel much more important and will definitely help you in your O levels when you show that actually have the gist, the understanding of what really happened in the Cold War. What really happened during the fall of the USSR.”
- 10. Pedagogical Affect: Active and student-centric learning “I learnt a lot during the making of the video. Most of the things Mr Yeo teaches in classroom is like go in one ear, then come out the other ear. Then it’s like okay. You just sit down drone in class. But when you actually hands-on, you read about the Yalta Conference on-line. You type it down. You look at footage of it. I think both my group members and I benefitted from that. It’s easier to capture in memory. It’s easier to remember the facts.” Case Study: What was the experience and use of doing your own history music video?
- 11. Student Interest: Flow “When we were putting it together, we slept little. It’s like something we have never done before. It’s not the real studying kind of project. It’s very, very practical. And we made a video that can be shown to other classes to future generations of Sec 4 classes. That feeling in itself is very gratifying. We made something.” Learning Performance: Procedural processes “For me, the right way to do it is by sieving out the important events, studying the events properly and trying to sieve out the important points. Studying means understanding the content. Then summarizing it. Then we tend to remember it better because we put it in our own words. “
- 12. Perceived Learning: Transfer of Learning in a new context “It’s not the video itself that help me. It’s the process, the research that you did is really helpful. So, when I made the video, my understanding of the Cold War is deeper than what I previously had. For me, it wasn’t the video but the process of making the video.”

- #5: Learning needs to be moved in a different direction. How does this relate to the 21st CC skills? Swiss rollThere are 4 elements of this: You want to create an Self-Directed Learner, an Active Contributor, Confident person. I think that by using ICT as a hook for him to learn beyond the classroom, this makes him a more self-directed one. The project for example was done in the holidays. That’s self-directedness. You also want him to be an active contributor, his resources being highlighted and used to showcase his talent, in fact everyone’s talents is a case in point. It is a way to value his active contribution and make him want to contribute more. Both of elements – Self-directedness and valuing his contribution because he does actively engage in his work – is a way of making him a more confident person. In the long run, this makes him a more concerned citizen.
