The traditional approach to using videos involves the so-called "movie sandwich," which focuses on the use of a single video clip. Based on analogical learning research, we highlight the possible benefits of constructing what we term a "video bridge," which consists of two analogous videos that are linked by important themes of…

Kean University's Video Intervisitation Program (VIP) recognizes faculty achievement by showcasing authentic classroom teaching through short video clips. Faculty contribute recordings highlighting high-engagement teaching practices, which are housed in an internal, on-demand library accessible to all faculty. VIP fosters peer learning,…

In order to build a better understanding of the conditions needed for religious and non-religious coexistence in Europe, to support values and practices of peaceful co-existence, and to promote and enhance mutual dialogue and understanding the European Union research programme Horizon2020 launched a call for the development of innovative…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have become one of the most popular ways of learning in recent years due to their flexibility and convenience. However, high dropout rate has become a prominent problem that hinders the further development of MOOCs. Therefore, the prediction of student dropouts is the key to further enhance the MOOCs platform.…

Fulfilling requests for media content in support of classroom and faculty research activities is demanding for academic libraries. Libraries strive to meet requests for media while working with challenges such as intellectual property license contracts, advances in digital communication technologies and copyright issues. This article provides an…

Students' sense of belonging has long been recognised as a key factor in student success, and higher education institutions continue to explore new ways to promote and support a sense of belonging amongst their students. This article presents working with Student Content Creators to produce video content as one way of promoting this sense of…

Video-enhanced activity schedule (VidAS) embeds a video model within a visual schedule, then links the images in the visual schedule to a video model clip, completing the step represented in each image. VidAS could leverage the strength of standard visual schedules and offer learners on the autism spectrum extra support to illustrate a sequence of…

Wildflower Schools, a network of decentralized "shopfront" Montessori schools, began in 2014, when Sep Kamvar, a MIT Media Lab professor, was unable to find a preschool for his son that fit his needs, and ended up partnering with two veteran Montessori educators, Mary Rockett and Katelyn Shore, to start a school. Wildflower's work is…

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…

In this article, we engage in a letter correspondence we call Chicana Latina Feminist (CLF) cartas, where we discuss the nuances of utilizing pláticas, along with similarly informed methodologies of video testimonios and epistolary practices within our respective research process. Our cartas correspondence demonstrates, (1) the challenges we faced…

Measurements and calculations are presented showing how the trajectory of an object sliding across an inclined plane varies with the launch and incline angles. The trajectory depends on the magnitude and direction of the sliding friction force. The experiment is easy to set up, can be analysed using a video camera, and would be suitable for a…

YouTube is a popular source of educational and recreational videos. Evidence suggests that medical students consult YouTube regularly and use it to supplement information they receive from their medical educators. On the other hand, some medical educators discourage and even avoid YouTube and other internet sources due to ethical concerns. In this…

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?

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…

The accurate and precise transport of the small amounts of the liquid by the syringe pump is widely used in many fields. In this paper, an Arduino-based syringe pump is fabricated using the computer DVD (digital versatile disc) drive. For the fabrication of the syringe pump, low-cost electronic components such as an Arduino microcontroller, a…
