  • Instructor Presence in Video Lectures: Preliminary Findings From an Online Experiment

    Publication

    - IEEE Access - Year 2021

    Motivation. Despite the widespread use of video lectures in online and blended learning environments, there is still debate whether the presence of an instructor in the video helps or hinders learning. According to social agency theory, seeing the instructor makes learners believe that s/he is personally teaching them, which leads to deeper cognitive processing and, in turn, better learning outcomes. Conversely, according to cognitive...
