Background: Tobacco use and dependence alongside environmental tobacco exposure collectively form a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for the global population. Several clinical and public health interventions have sought to address this growing epidemic on both micro and macro levels. One national campaign, "Tips From Former…

We studied the capability of automated machine translation in the online video education space by automatically translating Khan Academy videos with state-of-the-art translation models and applying text-to-speech synthesis and audio/video synchronization to build engaging videos in target languages. We also analyzed and established two reliable…

We examined the characteristics of video annotations frequently discussed during debriefing conversations as part of video-assisted coaching cycles. We also analyzed how mathematics coaches used written annotations to inject ideas into debriefing conversations when supporting teachers to reflect on important classroom events. Coaches and teachers…

Background: E-cigarette companies use YouTube to foster brand awareness, market their products, and interact with current and future tobacco users. However, research on the official YouTube channels of e-cigarette companies is limited. This study determined the themes of, and degree of user engagement with, videos posted to the official channels…

Recent research on teacher education has highlighted the importance of teachers' noticing of students' mathematical thinking. Much remains unknown about the ways in which teachers develop noticing abilities in professional development settings. This study examines changes in teachers' noticing in the context of peer discussions in a video club.…

Reflection is an important tool to help preservice teachers (PSTs) develop the skills and competence needed for effective teaching. Written and verbal reflections offer opportunities for novices to look back on their lesson implementation, but video allows them to step back "into the moment" to review their actions as they occurred in…

This study examined how well people can recognize and relate to animated pedagogical agents of varying ethnicities/races and genders. For both Study 1 (realistic-style agents) and Study 2 (cartoon-style agents), participants viewed brief video clips of virtual agents of varying racial/ethnic categories and gender types and then identified their…

Today creativity is increasingly recognized as an essential component of success. The purpose of the study is to test a method of consensus assessment of contemporary dance, which allows a viewer to subconsciously assess the manifestation of creativity in contemporary dance. The sample of participants was formed on the basis of users of Chinese…

Digital communication and digital oratory have become an integral part of today's workplace. This research discusses an innovative assessment tool that uses digital oratory and digital video along with YouTube to create opportunities for the students to develop self-efficacy in digital oratory and public speaking. The measurement of the…

Recently, using videos as a learning resource has received a lot of attention and turned widely exploited as an effective learning tool. With the rapid spread of instructional videos, the number of these tools in all disciplines is becoming very high. It is fractious for learners to find video courses adapted to their needs. Recommender system is…

Why does it take less time to remember an event than to experience it? Recent evidence suggests that the dynamic unfolding of events is temporally compressed in memory representations, but the exact nature of this compression mechanism remains unclear. The present study tested two possible mechanisms. First, it could be that memories compress the…

Our most moving experiences, the ones that "stick," are hardly ever static but are dynamic, like a conversation, a gesture, or a dance. Previous work has shown robust memory for simple actions (e.g., jumping or turning), but it remains an open question how we remember more dynamic sequences of complex and expressive actions. Separately,…

Preschool teachers can become attachment figures that complement the children's families of origin, becoming relevant actors in their early development. This article presents the results of a group video feedback program on early childhood teachers in public centers. The model, which focuses on promoting "educational sensitivity",…

Eye movement modeling examples (EMME) are novel types of video modeling examples that contain additional eye-movement recordings of the model to provide attentional guidance. Increasing demand in using instructional videos and interest in using eye-tracking in education makes EMME an appealing research subject. Hence, this study aims to…

Practitioner researchers have much to gain from using stimulated recall, a powerful data collection method whereby structured observations are followed by introspectively focused interviews. The close insider positions that practitioner researchers maintain, however, mean that they are liable to very powerful intuitions. Working under the…
