As social media platforms continue to grow in popularity, there is an increasing need for science outreach teams to bring STEM content to the virtual landscape. Here, we highlight the use of short-form videos on our TikTok channel-@IvyLeagueScience-as a new way to approach science outreach. Through a combination of content production and data…

To address diversity-sensitive higher education, we provide the first results exhibiting the importance of the use of German Sign Language (Deutsche Gebärdensprache, DGS) in lecture videos of elementary statistics courses. We examined whether deaf individuals preferred lecture videos in DGS over those with captions. Results from quantitative and…

This study evaluated the agreement between Kinect V2 with AssessLink and Vicon motion capture systems in children performing the vertical jump (JL) and forward leap (Leap). Eighteen healthy children (5-17 years) performed the movements while recorded simultaneously by both motion capture systems. Spearman correlation ([rho]) and Bland-Altman were…

A growing body of research has supported the implementation of innovative and immersive video for teaching and learning across the lifespan. Immersive video, delivered through eXtended Reality (XR) tools like 360 video, provides users with new ways to see real or created environments. Unfortunately, most of the existing research has highlighted…

Purpose: There are several connections between education and disinformation, including the association between years of schooling and vulnerability to unfounded hypothesizing. The purpose of this paper is to inquire into a competing explanation: political leaders might be exploring powerful teaching and learning strategies to disseminate agendas…

Our futurist perspective here imagines a world where parents can gaze into their child/children's classroom at the touch of a button. Our paper asks what learning spaces would look like if home can observe school at the touch of a button? What opportunities and constraints would be realized or continue to exist?

To address the concerning implications of inadequate teacher preparation and training in using classroom management, the literature highlights several steps training programs can take. Namely, this includes supplementing training curricula with dedicated courses on evidence-based classroom management practices and providing teachers with…

The merit of narrative film methods to support participatory approaches and professional development has been increasingly demonstrated by research in several fields and education. However, the use of digital storytelling and other film methods in evaluation remains largely unchartered territory. This article provides a case study of a digital…

Videos are an increasingly popular medium for supporting learning in various educational settings. Nowadays, newly designed video-based environments contain enhanced tools that allow for specific interactions with video materials (such as adding annotations and hyperlinks) which may well support generative learning and conceptual understanding.…

Making sense of algebraic expressions in context is multifaceted and extends beyond representing real-world situations using algebra. As part of Project MathTalk, the authors created videos that feature a pair of Grade 9 algebra 1 students coming to understand algebraic expressions in context. The students found three aspects of making sense of…

Research on video activity detection has primarily focused on identifying well-defined human activities in short video segments. The majority of the research on video activity recognition is focused on the development of large parameter systems that require training on large video datasets. This dissertation develops a low-parameter, modular…

This study examined the use of immersive video modeling to teach students with autism spectrum disorder classroom social skills such as asking for attention, asking for help, asking for an item, and asking for a hug. The research sought the functional relationship between immersive video modeling and increased social interaction. An ABAB…

Three years of data for 5,617 college online introductory statistics students were examined to determine if embedded course videos reduced incidences of external course tutoring. The frequency of external tutoring in course sections that used embedded videos was significantly reduced by 55% when compared to courses that did not use embedded course…

We outline the use and evaluation of a video presentation about variance and covariance developed to motivate students to process the topics and to enhance their skills. We outline the structure and the content of the video presentation and present data of an evaluation study. Students in different subjects who must pass statistics courses…

Some researchers have questioned the use of dropout metrics to assess the quality of MOOCs. The main reason for this doubt is that participants register for online courses with different intentions. Therefore, it is proposed to use a learner-centred approach and to study the learner intention-fulfilment. Researchers studied the effect of…
