Abstract

Given the prevalence of digital resource use in education, it is critical to understand teachers’ interactions and perceptions when retrieving digital video for instructional purposes. The overarching objective of the present study was to examine how user-centric measures varied between different groups of science teachers, formed on certain user characteristics. An experimental methodology, including a set of interactive search experiments with actual users, was employed to explore these research objectives. Findings showed influences in interactive video retrieval tied to user characteristics, such as gender, age, and educational context. Examining teachers’ use and perceptions of digital video provides system designers and information professionals understanding that can contribute to more effective resources.
