Video-Based Learning for Higher Education 5.0 Exposure and Immersion

Abstract

The Higher Education 5.0 initiative represents a shift in tertiary education, seeking to align academic instructions with the realities students will encounter in their future workplaces. The transformations brought about by Industry 4.0 have fundamentally altered workplace training paradigms. Tertiary students, as tomorrow’s workforce, are increasingly encountering educational technologies characteristic of Higher Education 5.0, with video-based learning (VBL) emerging as a particularly significant innovation. As a cornerstone of the flipped classroom model, VBL has become instrumental in facilitating blended pedagogical approaches across universities and tertiary institutions. Throughout the ASEAN region, this technology is proving transformative for both learners and instructors, enabling round-the-clock access to educational content and supporting truly flexible learning environments. Concise, engaging, and informative video content is rapidly becoming the defining medium for knowledge transmission within the Higher Education 5.0 paradigm. This empirical investigation builds upon earlier efforts to develop and disseminate explainer video content designed for broader, more accessible teaching approaches that emphasise fundamental concepts which learners subsequently develop independently. Contemporary VBL has evolved beyond its origins as an informal learning tool to become a mainstream pedagogical resource spanning both academic and corporate educational contexts.
