The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in knowledge of post-stroke aphasia among students who watched an informational video (Kennedy et al., 2012a) created for this study compared to students who read an informational text (National Aphasia Association, n.d.). Participants included 136 undergraduate and graduate students who…

The flipped classroom is a teaching method that combines technology and group collaboration activities. The flipped classroom can be a good approach for this teaching method because it encourages students' interest in learning. This study aims to find the difference in effectiveness between written and video-based materials for a flipped classroom…

This dissertation compares the impact of instructor screencast feedback and instructor written feedback on the writing of college students in freshman composition courses. A mixed methods study was used to assess the level of improvement between drafts of essays, the final scores of essays, and the level of improvement over time for both types of…

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…

Background and purpose of the study: STEM learning often involves a multitude of complex and abstract concepts and ideas that can be challenging for students to comprehend. Research suggests that the oral and visual representations in video lectures can maximize students' cognitive infrastructure, helping them to organize knowledge more…

Background: Delivering effective feedback to large groups of students represents a challenge for the academic staff at universities. Research suggests that undergraduate students often ignore the Elaborated Feedback (EF) received via digital learning environments. This may be because instructors provide feedback in written format instead of using…

This study aims to explore university students' experiences and preferences of feedback (types and delivery methods) during their higher education. The research design incorporates a survey combining quantitative and qualitative data to examine university students' feedback experiences and satisfaction. Conducted on 105 students at a state…

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a rich repertoire of meaningful, relevant comments posted on social media sites can facilitate or increase L2 listeners' comprehension of videos. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with an experimental group (n = 29) that watched two YouTube videos and read comments, as well as a…

Discussion boards are a common component of asynchronous online courses. While many teacher preparation courses utilize traditional text-based discussion boards, university faculty are increasingly designing innovative approaches to asynchronous online discussions. There is significant research regarding the effectiveness of varied discussion…

This article reports a study of written feedback comments in the context of teacher education. While feedback is believed to have the potential to improve students' learning, the provision will rest upon educators' and examiners' ability and means to convey details about their assessment. In the context reported here, compulsory feedback beyond…

Background: This paper contributes to current discussions about supporting prospective teachers (PSTs) in developing skills of noticing students' mathematical thinking. We draw attention to PSTs' initial noticing skills (prior to instruction focused on supporting noticing) as PSTs engage in analyzing written artifacts of student work and…

The purpose of the current study was to determine the impact of different forms of feedback (text/image/video) on the transactional distance (TD) perceptions and critical thinking skills (CTS) of the learners in online collaborative discussions. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study and was carried out with the participation of 104…

Investigating task-based synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) interaction has increasingly received scholarly attention. However, studies have focused on negotiation of meaning and the quantity, focus and resolution of language related episodes (LREs). This study aims to broaden our understanding of the role of audio, video, and text…

The current study explored how the participation in multimodal videoconferencing sessions affected one of the affective factors: willingness to communicate (WTC) in second language learning. Participants from the experimental group took part in three 30-minute communication tasks via videoconferencing that included interactions in textual, audio,…

This study explores the influence of feedback mode on learners' behavioral and affective engagement through a mixed method research design. Fourteen English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at a Turkish university performed four writing tasks (i.e., two essays and two reports) throughout an authentic seven-week distance foreign language (L2)…
