Data were obtained through questionnaires completed by viewers who had watched explainer videos of varying durations. In addition, assessments of student understanding were also carried out through tests involving material presented in explainer videos. Teachers and content creators should consider the appropriate duration to maintain the effectiveness of learning through this medium. The results of this study indicate that short and focused explainer videos can help enhance student understanding and maintain optimal concentration levels. It is recommended that explainer videos be presented in an interesting and clear style, with effective narration, and use relevant animations and graphics.
