E-learning plays a key role in students learningprocess and has been widely adopted by many education institutions. Inparticular, videos play a major role in the learning process of Gen-Zstudents. The purpose of this paper isto focus the on requirements of Gen-Z students and to provide suggestions forhow to create a e-learning video environment for them. This study aids theeducation institutes in designing and developing e-learning environmentappropriate for Gen-Z students. For this project, we study the e-learningvideos environment, Echo 360, and the behavior of Gen-Z students to suggest theadditional features to improve the e-learning video environment. Around 76students participated in our study where they had to complete an e-learningsession and a qualitative survey to provide feedback about the session.
