In response to\u0000 the Covid-19 pandemic, Irish language lecturers at Dublin City University\u0000 (DCU) set asynchronous video assessment tasks for students on teacher\u0000 education programmes. Tasks were completed using the web-based Unicam\u0000 platform, which streamlines video creation and submission, allowing students\u0000 to focus on their task and not technical affairs. Students’ and the teaching\u0000 team’s Unicam experiences were evaluated through anonymous surveys drawing\u0000 on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Both parties were\u0000 neutral to slightly positive in their attitudes towards the Unicam\u0000 tool.","PeriodicalId":350173,"journal":{"name":"CALL and professionalisation: short papers from EUROCALL 2021","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125202648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
