Videos have entered the classroom, whether for online asynchronous courses or as supplementary information in synchronous classes. COVID-19 accelerated the pace of online and video learning but left instructors with little time to explore the optimal use of this technology. Nonetheless, videos are here to stay, raising questions about what unique…

Background: Comprehensive assessment of skills and performance are necessary to improve the quality of care in nursing education. Various factors pose challenges to accurate assessments, including high student-teacher ratio and observer bias. Objectives: To establish an assessment system based on first-person video of smart glasses and validate…

Face anonymization in intelligent experimental education is crucial for privacy protection. This paper presents a novel, real-time face blurring system for smart experimental settings. Our key contributions include: 1) customized YOLOv8 (Multi-Scale Feature Fusion YOLOv8) algorithm achieving 96% accuracy at 22.67 fps for 1080p video. 2) An…

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…

Researchers across outdoor and environmental education (OEE) are drawing on relational ontologies to break down dualisms, human-centric thinking and challenge neoliberal education that focusses on outcomes and achievements. Digital technology has been seen as problematic in OEE because of its distracting qualities within notions of authentic…

Video magazines can make students' learning experience more effective by adding a different dimension to the learning process. This learning experience can create changes in students' attitudes and behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of video magazines in the experimental group. It printed magazines in the control group on middle…

So much depends on online course participants' ability to communicate in ways so that others can perceive their personalities and know that they are "real people." However, the line between the "real" and the "artificial" has been blurred with the rise of generative AI and guidance is needed for integrating generative…

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…

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…

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),…

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…

Many resources for jazz educators and students are readily available online for free. With consistent video content and online platform growth across the globe, jazz educators are called upon to engage within this digital discourse. Additionally, they must find new ways of adopting these resources and administer them within their curriculum. How…

Empirical studies demonstrate that students have some difficulties with the mathematical modeling process. Studies contain various applications for developing students' modeling competencies. This study investigated video-based modeling tasks' impact on modeling competencies with a descriptive design. In this context, it aims to compare…

Background: In light of the growing need to understand interactive learning effectivity and especially post-COVID 19 pandemic constraints, the key question is how to develop interactive videos in order to get the most effective results. Objectives: This research aims to explore the pedagogical benefits of interactive video with branching…
