Recent advancements in computer vision…

Researchers and educators are concerned about student success in tertiary programming courses, a situation that is even more pronounced in open and distance e-learning institutions. The aim of this study was to integrate 60 video lessons and compare passing and failing student in terms of their performance in JavaScript with three broad online…

Filmmaking is an inherently practical area of study. Not all students can access film school because of monetary, location and health issues. Options without schooling are online in the form of tutorial videos. 360° video offers a more interactive approach than traditional learning tools, and the technology can enhance learning and promote…

The purpose of this study was to explore nursing faculty experiences in creating and using short videos to engage prelicensure nursing students. Short videos are an innovative teaching strategy to help engage learners by decreasing cognitive workload and increasing knowledge retention. Learner engagement in prelicensure nursing education is…

Background: Video-based learning (VBL) is the learning process of acquiring defined knowledge, competence, and skills with the systematic use of video resources. Currently, the relationship between teaching presence and social presence in VBL is underexamined. Objectives: This study examined the relationships between social presence and teaching…

Background: Instructional videos constitute a pivotal component in flipped learning. Despite their significance, there is a dearth of research specifically dedicated to instructional videos within the context of flipped classrooms. This paucity has led to an empirical void in verifying the efficacy of instructional videos in flipped learning…
