Thanks for all of your comments and responses to my question. Perhaps the relative success of using Wibbitz depends upon the platform (if that's the right term!) upon which the web page rests. Interesting idea though.

The visual dimension not only helps them understand concepts better but also stimulates curiosity and encourages self-training.

While the data is from the US, the message is compelling! A beautifully crafted video where the impact of music and text is powerful. Worth reflecting upon and then taken some steps in your own practice.

Top Websites that provide Educational Video Tutorials for Teachers | 21st Century Literacy and Learning | Scoop.it

Video tutorials are great way to stimulate students cognitive capabilities and elicit more engagement from their part.
