Methodological advancements for the study of learning processes are both shaped by and drivers of technology developments. Interaction Analysis (IA), as a core methodological approach over the past three decades is reflective of this relationship and can be understood by examining moves from analogue video tapes, to digital media, computational…

Avatars play a significant role in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered education, supported by various human-computer interactions and second language acquisition theories. AI avatars have become increasingly anthropomorphic and realistic with advancements in speech synthesis, speech-driven lip-syncing, and speech-to-facial animation. D-ID Studio…

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.

This paper investigates the accomplishment of highlighting in multiparty video-mediated learning activities. The focus is on moments of screen sharing and the verbal, embodied, and digital resources participants deploy to draw joint attention to a referent on screen. Drawing on screen recorded data (90 h) from an adult education setting (i.e.…

Digital image processing is an integral part of the computer vision field. However, traditional digital image processing teaching methods mainly focus on theoretical knowledge, lacking practical teaching content. To address this issue, this article proposes a project-based learning (PBL) model that consists of four key stages: project proposal,…

The integration of immersive technologies, such as 360-degree virtual reality (VR) in education presents a promising avenue for enhancing teaching and learning. However, educators often face challenges due to limited technical expertise and resource constraints. This study examined the usability and readiness of educators in adopting the 360 VR…

This study examines the factors affecting the intention to use and actual use of YouTube in improving English-speaking skills in Indonesia. To meet the aims, we extended the theory of technology acceptance model (TAM); two external factors, subjective norms, and perceived enjoyment, to support the TAM variables (perceived ease of use, perceived…

The image of free-falling bar has been recorded to study the effect of the motion on its observed length. This moving bar image is analysed using the Tracker software to determine its length and the end bar's position. An elongated appearance of the bar has been observed with movement. This effect relies on the speed and the exposure time during…

This study was conducted to examine the views of parents on digital parenting competencies and experiences. Phenomenology was chosen as a research design. The study group consisted of 13 parents, selected according to criterion sampling. A semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. Content analysis was used in the analysis…

The use of virtual reality and 360° videos has been little researched so far, especially in social work studies and teaching. The reasons for this are the low prevalence of VR headsets in social work courses and the fundamental technological deficit in social work, which means the lack of clear causal chains within it. Professionals must adapt…
