In order to avoid students' negative learning mood, contemporary teachers are required to abandon the application of spoon-feeding teaching method in English classroom teaching, adopt micro-class teaching method, highlight the teaching characteristics of being close to the people, and create an efficient, short, and special teaching space to meet…

Technology enhanced feedback methods such as video feedback are increasingly employed with a notable shift towards embracing remote means of communication during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Greater use of distance and electronic learning can result in a lack of personalisation which students find challenging. Feedback which uses the spoken…

Video is an increasingly important resource in higher education. A key limitation of lecture video is that it is fundamentally a sequential information stream. Quickly accessing the content aligned with specific learning objectives in a video recording of a classroom lecture is challenging. Recent research has enabled automatic reorganization of a…

Visual storytelling, particularly through dance choreographies as showcased in previous AlgoRythmics performances, has been effective in communicating relatively straightforward algorithms in an engaging and memorable way. Nevertheless, when addressing complex algorithmic concepts, an approach with greater expressiveness and flexibility becomes…

Purpose: This systematic literature review paper critically examines the effectiveness of screencast feedback compared with text feedback in promoting student learning outcomes in online higher education. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion surrounding feedback modalities and their impact on online learning environments.…

Cognitive load is a critical internal state associated with learners' learning process and significantly influences learning outcomes. With the worldwide popularity of video-based learning (VBL), tracking real-time cognitive load variations becomes more and more important for the timely provision of adaptive learning support during the learning…

This study aims to examine the potential differences between teacher evaluations and artificial intelligence (AI) tool-based assessment systems in university examinations. The research has evaluated a wide spectrum of exams including numerical and verbal course exams, exams with different assessment styles (project, test exam, traditional exam),…

In video lectures, instructors naturally produce nonverbal behaviors, such as gestures, facial expressions, and gaze guidance. Instructors' pointing gestures can act as attentional cues, directing students' attention, while their positive facial expressions can act as social cues, eliciting students' positive social response. The current study…

Academic misconduct is a growing problem in online education. While there are ways to curb academic misconduct in online exams, utilization of technology to proctor online exams in a simple manner in limited-resource settings remain unclear. This study set out to identify a reliable technique for utilizing webcam footage to identify instances of…

Online, informal learning communities bring youth opportunities for learning that schools cannot offer. Yet, there are concerns about the impact of social media platforms' control over online learning. We argue for a re-evaluation of what an 'online informal learning community' is by looking at such active communities on three platforms: YouTube,…

In the context of the multimedia era, college counselors and college students should make progress together. This article aims to explore the practical issues of applying multimedia and visual-image technology to the training of college counselors. We propose a three-dimensional multimedia visual image recognition technology based on convolutional…

Teachers' professional vision (TPV) is an essential contributor to enhancing the quality of teaching-learning processes thanks to its potential effect on teachers' self-reflective skills. This is of particular importance in Physical Education (PE), due to the fact that this subject presents different challenges and more dynamic situations compared…

Physics education research on explanatory videos has experienced a boost in recent years. Due to the vast number of explanatory videos available online, e.g. on YouTube, finding videos of high explaining quality is a challenging task for learners, teachers, and lecturers alike.
