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…

This study investigates the impact of different animation styles on learning outcomes in physics, with a focus on explanations of the seasons. Using a combination of pre-post performance tests and eye tracking, we compared animations featuring a presenter with pure animations without a person in the frame. The sample consisted of students from a…

COVID-19 greatly increased the online delivery of higher education. But one limitation of online learning is that students often struggle to stay engaged while watching online lectures. We examined whether including an instructor's face in lecture videos (instructor visibility) enhances student engagement or learning. In two preregistered…

This small-scale, in-depth qualitative study conceptualises the pedagogic use of interactive 360° images in a special school setting through practitioner perceptions of using the technology with learners aged 7-11. Data from one-to-one semi-structured interviews was inductively analysed to generate a tripartite classification which outlines…

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been increasingly utilised in the production of educational media, including animated educational videos (AEVs) incorporating pedagogical agents (PAs). These tools support the efficient creation of multimedia content and reduce teachers' technical workload. Objectives: This study investigates the…

Teacher gesture recognition aims to identify and interpret teacher gestures within academic settings. It has been applied in domains such as teaching performance evaluation, the optimization of online education, and special needs education. However, the background similarity of teacher gestures, the inter-class similarity, and the intra-class…

Natural environments are beneficial for cognitive functioning and affect. Appraisals of such benefits can lead to the development of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors in the long run. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an indirect exposure to a natural and urban environment during a short break in a school day, using a 'green'…

Flashcard interventions are commonly used to increase sight-word acquisition and reading ability among students. However, most research on flashcard interventions is implemented in person and not using virtual instruction. The current study compared two flash card interventions, incremental rehearsal (IR) and strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR),…

Audiovisual translation has recently received a considerable attention, particularly by FL teaching and learning theorists. While learners try to focus on the linguistic input, culture overrides other considerations. Audiovisual Text-based language learning, particularly if MT-rendered, serves as a source of cultural and ideological manipulation…

This study was directed toward ascertaining students' perceived usefulness of integrating TED Talks for the cognitive and affective aspects of learning English as a foreign language. Employing a quantitative research design with a survey questionnaire, data were collected using the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which measured…

As online learning continues to become prevalent in universities, interest grows in how it may impact learning. Emotional prosody (EP), the utilization of acoustic cues embedded in utterances that convey emotion, may be important for online learning. Focusing on the role of EP for online learning, this study examined how EP impacted the learning…

Purpose: This study developed and evaluated a video-based machine learning model to automate motor competence assessment and created a user-friendly web platform for teachers and coaches. Methods: A total of 1,063 children (mean age: 7.8 years) performed seven motor skills, recorded on video and assessed by experts using the Test of Gross Motor…

Research has shown that, in general, students are treated differently on the basis of their achievement levels and ethnicity. Such differential treatment might also result in the administration of different learning materials, and so far, not much is known about how teachers choose these materials for different students. In two vignette studies,…

Clear learning goals are an integral part of instructional clarity and seen as a factor influencing students' motivation and learning processes. However, goal communication and the types of goals teachers set are rarely addressed in classroom studies. To further the understanding of these aspects, the purpose of this study was to investigate…

Video modeling (VM) is a type of video-based instruction that shows each step in a chain of skills needed to complete a task. It is a well-established instructional intervention that can improve a variety of education-related outcomes for students with autism. This article describes the steps special educators who want to use VM for instruction…
