Tim Kühl; Felicia Teske; Martin Merkt; Christina Sondermann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
The empirical evidence concerning the question whether an instructor should be presented on online lecture slides is equivocal and two lines of theoretical reasoning exist. On the one hand, the instructor may distract from the content, thereby hampering learning; on the other hand, the instructor may function as a social cue that triggers a more…

Kuang, Ziyi; Wang, Fuxing; Xie, Heping; Mayer, Richard E.; Hu, Xiangen – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The instructor's eye gaze can serve as an important social cue in video lectures. The current study used two sets of three-level meta-analyses to explore the effects of the instructor's guided gaze or the instructor's direct gaze on learning outcomes, fixation time, perception of parasocial interaction, and cognitive load. A total of eight…

Jae-Yeop Jeong; JiYeon Oh; Jin-Woo Jeong – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Pre-recorded lectures have become a prevalent approach in online education due to the proliferation of MOOC platforms and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the lack of real-time interactions between instructors and learners, learners have encountered various difficulties in understanding the lectures and actively engaging with the learning…

Ziyi Kuang; Fuxing Wang; Frank Andrasik; Xiangen Hu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Little is known about the effectiveness of instructors when presenting content in videos alone. In recent years, researchers have increasingly begun to explore the effects of instructors' social cues (e.g., eye gaze, body orientation, etc.) on learning. However, previous studies exploring the effects of eye gaze have confounded the…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Zhu, Fangfang; Chen, Louqi; Guo, Xin; Yang, Jiumin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study tested the mutual effects of the instructor's eye gaze and facial expression on students' eye movements (i.e. first fixation time to the slides, percentage dwell time on the slides, and percentage dwell time on the instructor), parasocial interaction, and learning performance in pre-recorded video lectures. Students (N = 118…

Stull, Andrew T.; Fiorella, Logan; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
This study explores the role of the instructor's face and eye gaze as social and attentional cues in promoting learning from a video lecture on kidney physiology. In a 2 × 2 between-subjects design, 133 college students were randomly assigned to a gaze behavior condition and a video whiteboard type condition. The instructor either shifted her gaze…

Fiorella, Logan; Stull, Andrew T.; Kuhlmann, Shelbi; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
This study tested 3 instructor presence features in learning from video lectures: dynamic drawings, eye contact with the camera, and instructor visibility. In 2 experiments, college students watched a video lecture about the human kidney, which consisted of a series of drawings and a spoken explanation from the instructor, and then took a written…

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…

Young-Jones, Adena; Cara, Kelly Copeland; Levesque-Bristol, Chantal – Teaching in Higher Education, 2014
Teaching practices can create a range of autonomy-supportive or controlling learning environments. Research shows that autonomy-supportive techniques are more conducive to positive learning outcomes than controlling techniques. This study focused on simple verbal and behavioral cues that any teacher could use to create a positive learning…

Eick, Charles Joseph; King, David T., Jr. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2012
The instructor of an integrated science course for nonscience majors embedded content-related video segments from YouTube and other similar internet sources into lecture. Through this study, the instructor wanted to know students' perceptions of how video use engaged them and increased their interest and understanding of science. Written survey…

Mertens, Robert; Ketterl, Markus; Brusilovsky, Peter – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2010
Purpose: Social navigation is an emerging trend for navigation in hypermedia. With social navigation, users can be guided through large volumes of learning content by cues which integrate the browsing history of past users. Earlier papers have shown that social navigation is suitable for navigation not only in classic hypermedia but also in…
