Abstract

This paper investigates how students evaluate online video for use in assignment work, in order to understand digital literacy with online video in practice. Students sourced content for a written assignment using a customised video retrieval system (VRS), and reflected on their choice of videos. The study examines the key areas influencing the use and evaluation of online video for assignments such as digital literacy, the learning value of video, strategies for integrating video, and the key features of VRSs. This paper examines students' experiences using online video for assignment work and pays particular attention to their evolution of video content and their reasons for selecting videos. Findings show that students select video based on its relevance to their existing knowledge, ability to develop their arguments, and on the source and quality of content. Students display key elements of digital literacy when provided with an authentic task, and the appropriate tools and content to accomplish this. The work also presents a series of recommendations and considerations for future work in the area.

探索数字素养：本科生如何评估数字视频是否能融入作业？

本文调查了学生如何评估在线视频在作业中的使用，以了解在实践中使用在线视频的数字素养。学生们使用定制的视频检索系统（VRS）为书面作业寻找内容，并反思他们对视频的选择。该研究考察了影响在线视频在作业中的使用和评估的关键领域，如数字素养、视频的学习价值、整合视频的策略以及VRS的关键特征。本文考察了学生在作业中使用在线视频的经历，并特别关注他们视频内容的演变以及他们选择视频的原因。研究结果表明，学生选择视频是基于其与现有知识的相关性、发展论点的能力以及内容的来源和质量。当向学生提供真实的任务时，他们会展示数字素养的关键要素，以及实现这一目标的适当工具和内容。该工作还提出了一系列建议和对该领域未来工作的考虑。
