Experiences of Using Unicam for Asynchronous Video Assessment of the Irish Language
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2021 Conference (29th, Online, Aug 26-27, 2021)
Video is used widely in language education as a learning tool and a production tool for students to demonstrate oral competence. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Irish language lecturers at Dublin City University (DCU) set asynchronous video assessment tasks for students on teacher education programmes. Tasks were completed using the web-based Unicam platform, which streamlines video creation and submission, allowing students to focus on their task and not technical affairs. Students' and the teaching team's Unicam experiences were evaluated through anonymous surveys drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Both parties were neutral to slightly positive in their attitudes towards the Unicam tool.
