What is it about?
The goal of this research was to enhance the comprehension and implementation of course material among master's students in Strategic Planning and Evaluation for Integrated Communications. To engage 23 international students, interactive media tools such as myCourseVille, Spark, YouTube, Kahoot, and Zoom were utilized. The study mainly focused on the impact of these tools on short-term memory retention and creative application of content. The results indicated that interactive quizzes and tests improved short-term memory retention, but they required more diversity for better understanding. Interactive Zoom sessions and practical activities helped students to apply their learning in real-world scenarios, highlighting the significance of diverse interactive approaches for effective learning experiences.

Why is it important?
Based on the findings, it was discovered that interactive quizzes and tests can enhance short-term memory retention, but to achieve a deeper understanding of the subject, more diverse approaches are needed. Interactive Zoom sessions and practical activities were effective in assisting students to apply what they have learned in real-life situations. This study emphasizes the significance of employing various interactive methods to create effective learning experiences.
Perspectives
As a researcher, I find this study to be particularly impactful in the context of modern education, where digital tools and online learning are becoming increasingly prevalent. The study's results highlight the crucial balance between technology and pedagogy. By utilizing interactive media effectively, we can significantly enhance the learning experience, making it more engaging and practical for students. This study reinforces the importance of adapting our teaching methods to the evolving digital landscape, ensuring that we cater to the diverse learning needs of students in a rapidly changing educational environment.
