Happy Teaching Video: A Recommendation for Happy Learning in Accounting

Abstract

Due to the worsening Covid-19 pandemic, the world of education has adopted distance learning to realize social distancing and reduce the intensity of population mobilization. The presence of various learning video content is undoubtedly an alternative to support student learning activities, including students from the Accounting discipline. This research aims to develop the Happy Teaching Video Series to optimize distance learning in the Accounting Teaching and Learning Strategy course. Happy Teaching Video Series is developed based on cognitive load, student engagement, and active learning elements that determine a learning video's effectiveness. The Happy Teaching Video Series can be used as an example of implementing learning media, especially for accounting which is perceived as a practical subject and tends to be problematic in students’ eyes.
