The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of interactive and demonstration (non-interactive) video tutorials for software training on the effectiveness of procedural learning and student satisfaction. An analysis of signalling made by instructional designers was carried out to develop high-quality instructional video materials. These attention cues could be used in both demonstration and interactive video tutorials to enhance the acquisition of procedural knowledge. Both types of video tutorials had a positive effect on the learning process, and students achieved very good learning outcomes. Students who used interactive videos achieved slightly better learning outcomes. The study revealed higher satisfaction with interactive videos which were perceived as more instructive compared to the demonstration videos.
