In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education and adult learning, asynchronous video-based online learning has not only become the new norm but has also emerged as the cornerstone of instructional delivery for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Despite its widespread adoption, this learning mode confronts a critical challenge: the…

With the rapid expansion of social media, sports YouTube programs have become increasingly ubiquitous. The aim of this study is to investigate the association among college students' participation in sports YouTube engagement, psychosocial functions of sport, and well-being. In the spring semester of 2023, we recruited 243 Korean college students…

Course content in higher education is increasingly provided via video lectures. Video quality varies widely, from textbook publishers that provide professional quality videos to individual instructors recording videos on their laptops. In this study, we randomly assigned students to one of two videos, one high quality and one lower quality, to…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how online undergraduate students describe their use of instructional videos and their perceptions of the ease of use, usefulness, and enjoyment of instructional videos in colleges in the southeastern United States. According to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the use of…

Cameras may be viewed as an essential tool in online synchronous classes. They may give a sense of connectedness between the students and faculty. In fact, social presence is considered a vital factor in distance education. In our study, we examine faculty's perception of accepted reasons for students to turn off their cameras and perceived…

Contribution: This study adds to the literature by investigating the association of student behavioral and cognitive engagement with video content and their learning. This study addresses the lack of feedback on how students engage with the video content during the asynchronous learning mode. Background: Higher education rapidly integrates various…

Flipped classrooms have been shown to be useful in both introductory and advanced computational Earth Science courses. However, to date they have not been implemented in advanced level non-computational courses. Here we assess a three-year study into the use of flipped classroom techniques in a fourth year undergraduate Mineral Deposits class. One…

Recorded lectures have rapidly gained momentum in teaching and learning, whether online or "offline" in traditional face-to-face classrooms. We appreciate the remarkable accessibility and flexibility brought by recorded lectures, but we must ponder its adequacy and effectiveness. After all, a YouTube recording is different from a live…

Frequent reels that have gained immense popularity on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, significantly reduce attention span and impairs academic performance. This study investigates the impact of frequent exposure to short video reels on undergraduate students' attention span and academic performance, assuming that attention span…

Although student's decision to review digitally-delivered feedback has received more attention over the last decade, the relationship of audiovisual formats of feedback and student's academic engagement have rarely been investigated. This quasi-experimental study explores how written feedback and two video-feedback formats, each showcasing the…

The current study investigated the effects of segmentation design and drawing on college students' video learning. Participants were 158 college students randomly assigned to view either a segmented or continuous video lecture (video type: segmented vs continuous) and who either received instructed to draw while learning or no instructions at all…

Video lectures are commonly used in online and flipped courses, but students often find it challenging to stay engaged and retain lecture content. The current study examined to what extent the power of electroencephalography (EEG) brain activity in the theta (4-7 Hz), alpha (8-12 Hz) and beta (13-20 Hz) bands can dynamically capture fluctuations…

Background: Academic boredom is ubiquitous, and it leads to a range of adverse learning outcomes. Given that students often make estimates of how boring lectures are, does anticipating a lecture to be boring shape their actual experience of boredom? Aims: The current research investigated whether anticipated boredom intensifies subsequent boredom…

Filmmaking is an inherently practical area of study. Not all students can access film school because of monetary, location and health issues. Options without schooling are online in the form of tutorial videos. 360° video offers a more interactive approach than traditional learning tools, and the technology can enhance learning and promote…

The published literature on lecture capture technologies is often conflicting and sometimes controversial. A common thread among many studies is the impact of recorded lectures on student satisfaction, attendance and performance; however, many of these studies fail to acknowledge the wider context and the many and varied ways in which capture…
