As the number of higher education institutions embracing online learning continues to grow, there has been a significant shift towards utilizing lecture videos as a popular method. In the realm of massive open online courses (MOOCs), each lecture video serves as an independent resource for learning. To enhance the delivery of course content, educational settings have increasingly employed visual aids, such as animations, typography, and videos. These visual elements play a vital role in aiding information retention, recall, and motivating students by fostering interest and enjoyment in the learning process. Previous studies have highlighted the positive impact of visual aids on students’ memory and information absorption. One notable approach for creating lecture videos involves the use of Lightboard technology. Consequently, this study aims to explore the role of visual elements in Lightboard videos specifically for online learning, particularly in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). By con-ducting a comprehensive analysis of relevant studies, the gathered data will be meticulously examined and presented as substantiating evidence to determine the most effective visual components for Lightboard videos. These discoveries will serve as valuable contributions to the integration of visual data in online courses, with a specific focus on harnessing Lightboard technology to engage students’ interest and elevate their overall learning journey. It is worth noting that the incor-poration of visual aids holds significant potential in enhancing the teaching and learning environment for educators and students, particularly when grappling with complex concepts. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
