Pi, Zhongling; Tang, Manrong; Yang, Jiumin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
This study tested whether seeing others' typed messages while viewing video lectures affected learners' attention and learning performance. Participants viewed one of three versions of a video lecture: (a) conventional video lecture as control; (b) video lecture with others' programmed messages appearing onscreen when the instructor was giving…

Yang, Jiumin; Zhu, Fangfang; Jiang, Yirui; Pi, Zhongling – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Evidence regarding the benefits of an instructor's deictic gestures in video lectures on adults' learning may not necessarily be reflective of their effect on children's learning. Furthermore, there is a lack evidence regarding how deictic gestures specifically affect learners' learning process. Based in cognitive load theory, with consideration…

Wang, Hongyan; Pi, Zhongling; Hu, Weiping – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Instructor behaviour is known to affect learning performance, but it is unclear which specific instructor behaviours can optimize learning. We used eye-tracking technology and questionnaires to test whether the instructor's gaze guidance affected learners' visual attention, social presence, and learning performance, using four video lectures:…

Pi, Zhongling; Hong, Jianzhong; Yang, Jiumin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
Recent research on video lectures has indicated that the instructor's pointing gestures facilitate learning performance. This study examined whether the instructor's pointing gestures were superior to nonhuman cues in enhancing video lectures learning, and second, if there was a positive effect, what the underlying mechanisms of the effect might…
