In the end, not every minute of a video is relevant for the exam. Additionally, students need to add notes to clarify issues of a lecture. There are several possibilities to enhance the metadata of a video, e.g. a typical way to add user-specific information to an online video is a comment functionality, which allows users to share their thoughts and questions with the public. In contrast to common video material which can be found online, lecture videos are used for exam preparation. Due to this difference, the idea comes up to annotate lecture videos with markers and personal notes for a better understanding of the taught content. Especially, students learning for an exam use their notes to refresh their memories. To ease this learning method with lecture videos, we introduce the annotation feature in our video lecture archive. This functionality supports the students with keeping track of their thoughts by providing an intuitive interface to easily add, modify or remove their ideas. This annotation function is integrated in the video player. Hence, scrolling to a separate annotation area on the website is not necessary. Furthermore, the annotated notes can be exported together with the slide content to a PDF file, which can then be printed easily. Lecture video annotations support and motivate students to learn and watch videos from an E-Learning video archive.}, language = {en} }
