Affecting preservice teachers' pedagogical intentions and future behavior is a challenging goal of teacher education. It may be accomplished by purposefully changing their beliefs. The aim of this study was to investigate whether lesson videos, compared to an argumentation-based video format, can evoke stronger and more positive emotional…

Despite the widespread adoption of streaming video by academic libraries, there has been little discussion about how video content is discovered and accessed through the library catalog as compared to vendor platforms. This article explores the current status of video resources in the library catalog to better understand how users find and access…

Using self-determination theory, this study investigated the influence of a multimedia-enhanced informal biodiversity awareness event on the evolving culture of science and internal and external motivation to take environmental action among the members of a small community in Southeastern US. The event was hosted by a local life and science museum…

The objective of the research reported in this article was to evaluate the usefulness of supplemental videos in the advertising and public relations (PR) classroom, featuring luminaries in these same fields. Students in an introductory course in advertising and PR were given an assignment based on videos from an online library of short videos.…

This lesson plan aims to teach second year senior high school students how to communicate when making and cancelling an appointment, and responding to an appointment using short video clips on YouTube. A student evaluation chart for the teacher to use following the lesson plan is included.

The infrared camera, or thermal imaging camera, can be used to complement the teaching of a number of topics in high school science. Here, we provide seven examples of its application in teaching physics, chemistry and biology concepts at high school level. We also discuss its strengths for such applications and provide some pointers for science…

Emotions are critical to learning. However, the function of emotions in the emerging context of massive open online courses (MOOCs) has been under-researched. The present study complemented this line of research by modelling the relation between learner emotions, engagement with videos, engagement with assignments, and self-perceived achievement…

Academic tasks frequently require students to effectively process multiple sources across print and digital mediums. Yet, studies of multiple source use have almost exclusively confined examinations to a single medium. In the present study, undergraduate students (n = 50) wore a head-mounted video camera while developing a PowerPoint presentation…

In Malaysia, the new teaching model of a flipped classroom is emerging in higher education with the aim of promoting student-centred learning. Hence the main purpose of this study is to identify the students' acceptance level, their perceptions, and the impact of their initial exposures to the flipped classroom model. With this in mind, a survey…

Students' usage of lecture recordings can be characterised by usage frequency, repetitiveness and selectivity in watching, lecture attendance, and social context and location in which students watch the lecture recordings. At the University of Münster (Germany), the lecture recording service was evaluated over three semesters. The data were…

As lecture capture technology and practice become ever more widespread in UK universities there is a growing body of literature that assesses the impact of these changes. However, there is still much to be understood about lecture capture and the full impact on student learning, especially in different institutional and subject contexts. This…

Video lectures and mobile learning devices have become prominent, but little is known about device choices for watching video lectures. The setting for this study, a university that provided perpetual access to personal computers and free tablet devices to all first-year students, provided a unique opportunity to study device choice in a setting…

Analysis of social action has increasingly considered the place of 'things' in recent years, including seeing objects (both physical and digital) as co-participants in social interaction, systems, and the research process. This article argues that video ethnography is well positioned to address such considerations including, with some…

This article focuses on the analytical competence of teachers, which can be defined as the ability to properly perceive and assess lessons in terms of the effectiveness of pupils' learning. However, learning opportunities for fostering this competence in teacher education can only be justified if the components of this construct are theoretically…

A vacuum cleaner is used to isolate over twelve harmonics in a corrugated toy whistling tube. The toy tube is first taped along a horizontal surface. Then a vacuum cleaner with a hose diameter approximately the same as that for the toy tube is turned on. As the vacuum cleaner hose approaches one end of the corrugated tube, individual higher…
