Adults in Distance Education: A Multimodal Approach to Understanding Learner Engagement

• In Event: RTD- Learner Empowerment and Agency (v)

Short Description

Multimodal research is gaining popularity in the learning sciences, but there is limited use of screen recording analysis. Our methodology used recorded study sessions with screencast, webcam video, and audio recording of adult students in their home environments as they participated in their online classes. We will deconstruct our methodology to allow participants to understand how multimodal research can be used to provide macro- and micro-analysis of learning tasks and learning environments in authentic contexts.
