Participant logs revealed a significant decrease in coverage for video types following the preview. Participants were 65 students from the upper grades of elementary school. Three tutorials were compared: preview and demonstration (control condition), preview and demonstration and review (review condition) and preview and demonstration and 2nd demonstration (2-demo condition). The study investigated the effects of video tutorials on motivation, task accomplishment and learning with special attention being paid to the role of reviews. This paper presents a theoretical model that combines demonstration-based training (DBT) and multimedia learning theory as a framework for design. Video tutorials for software training are becoming more and more popular, but their construction and effectiveness is understudied.
