Similarly, in a freshman-levelintroduction to electronics course, translated searchable class videos led to improved coursescores among students that used them [1]. With the demonstrated improved performance in CSand ECE courses, we were curious to better understand how students used the searchfunctionality as part of their authentic university course experience (as opposed to a simulatedlearning environment). This study is based on student usage data from 25 engineering courses toexplore how students used video-based index search, and provide insights so educators can learnabout student behaviors and learning outcomes related to their use of the search and
