Doing homework for chemistry lab makes me extremely sleepy almost immediately after starting a video, and no other homework, even other videos, accomplishes this. The repetitive music in the background of every video is lovely, but the combination of the music and the relaxing voice over literally makes my eyelids heavy.
Yes! I agree the background music is terrible and it heavily interferes with the narrator's voice. Please remove the background music!
which software to use for background music ?
There are also students with hearing problems that have trouble distinguishing the instructor's comments from the background music. Captions help, but are occasionally inaccurate.
moreover some students with certain learning disabilities (ADD) are distracted by noise - I suggest to offer the option to disable the background music but without muting the instructor's comments..
