PolyU research reveals significant effects of instructors onscreen during video classes in aiding student learning

Retrieved on: 
Monday, March 25, 2024

Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have conducted a study to analyse whether and how the instructor's presence in online video lectures affected student learning and learning outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have conducted a study to analyse whether and how the instructor's presence in online video lectures affected student learning and learning outcomes.
  • The results reveal that students are more motivated to perform socio-emotional and cognitive processing when an instructor, human or animated, is present onscreen, hence facilitating more effective learning.
  • Previous studies have indicated that socio-emotional cues, such as human facial expressions and gestures, help students understand and stay focused on learning content.
  • This contributes to the development of an evidence-based instructional design for multimedia learning, thereby enhancing student's learning experience and outcome."
