Abstract: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the world of education has found a new normal, with new online courses, tools, educational apps, and artificial intelligence gaining in advancement and popularity.

In this article, the author describes the potential benefits of interactive video, how this technology works and how to get started with it, gives suggestions for how to apply it to a variety of teaching contexts, and provides a sample lesson plan that shows some of the ways interactive video can be used to support student learning.
