Hi, everyone.
My name is Xinyue Chen.
I'm a senior undergraduate students at Peking University.
I'll be talking about our paper, "I was afraid,
but now, I enjoy being a streamer!
Understanding the Challenges and Prospects
of Using Live Video Streaming for Online Education."
This work has been done in collaboration
with Si Chen, Yun Huang, and Xu Wang.
At first, I'll introduce the unique context of this work.
That COVID-19 caused a sharp transition
in the online location.
And we find life video streaming, which
was used in e-commerce and gaming,
became a prevalent way of online teaching in this context.
So considering, there is a lack of understanding
of using live video streaming for online education,
we proposed the following research questions.
The first is, what are the challenges
teachers and students face when transitioning
from offline to online education using live video streaming?
And the second, how do teachers and students
address the changes involved in this transition?
And the third, what are the prospects of using live video
streaming for online teaching?
We did in-depth interview for data collections in China,
and there are 15 teachers and 18 students recruited
in our study.
Runs from junior high school to college.
Before answering the research questions,
we give an overview of how teachers and students use
like video streaming for online education in Japan.
Some teachers use social media like QQ, WeChat, TikTok,
Bilibili, or live video streaming.
We show the workflow in QQ [INAUDIBLE] mobile phone,
so they can share their screen through video to students.
And in students' review, they can watch the video,
send text message, and use other in-camera features like emojis.
Some use enterprise collaboration tools
for teaching, like Zoom and and Tencent Meeting.
And there are also some professional platforms
providing teaching features, like real time
statistics tracking.
These platforms above are all live video streaming tools
for teaching in our study.
From the perspective of the two stakeholders,
we're presenting the challenges faced by teachers and students.
Trust, privacy, and consequences of leaving
more digital footprints, missing eye contact and body language,
impression management are shared challenges.
And conflicting challenges between teachers and students
includes switching between multi-platforms,
conflicting expectations on student engagement,
and the balance between entertainment and teaching.
And here are also some unique changes for teachers.
For example, panic from real-time mistakes,
senior teachers' learning curves, switching moods,
and the lack of help from parents,
and the lack of peer presence is the unique challenges
for students.
And then we presented the stakeholders' practice
of addressing the challenges.
For shared challenges, teachers and students
use virtual background and beauty camera
for impression management.
For conflicting changes, teachers
engage the classroom with red envelope functions
and create anonymous communication channels.
For unique challenges for teachers,
they seek for support from families and colleagues
and students conduct offline communications
to engage with classmates.
We also get findings about prospects
of live video streaming based online education.
For teachers, like video streaming education created
an overall positive and emotional experience
for the reasons of the acquisition of a new teaching
method and technology, the students' gradually
increased engagement, the increasing intimacy
between teachers and students, and
in-class real-time statistics.
And for students, the social media
features increased intimacy and equality between teachers
and students, and live video streaming class
through mobile phone from a online education access,
the Dammaku to and text messages to increase
the engagement, which can be considered more in the future.
In the end, by connecting our findings with prior literature,
we discussed why and how to use live video
streaming for online teaching.
We then gave design implications for educational technologies.
For example, provide more informed peer interaction
opportunities to augment student presence,
involving students, teachers, and parents
in co-design opportunities, and creating a safe teaching
and learning environment.
Thank you for hearing and hope you understand more
about live video streaming teaching.
