In this study, we investigated the impact of prompting on young students' source consideration when watching videos with conflicting information. 262 French 7th graders were shown a series of videos in which two speakers (varying in credibility) took opposite stances on the topic of organic farming. The students were either given no prompts…

As a teaching and learning medium, 360° videos offer new teaching-learning experiences. Through the possibility of immersion, individual 360° panoramic images, multi-perspective viewing options and interaction possibilities, they extend the advantages of conventional video technology. To understand the potential of using 360° video technology for…
