Abstract

Nowadays, audiovisual media technologies and audiovisual content (audiovisual media communications) play an important role in our physical/psychological health, education, and lifelong learning, causing the redefinition of the teaching methodology. As presented in the literature, the use of audiovisual media communications presuppose a new way of approaching effective teaching, which requires the educators on all educational levels and disciplines to display with competence many advanced skills and abilities. The aim of this research is to provide data that will contribute to the effective teaching utilizing audiovisual media communications in adult education. This research is a secondary research from two researches, which are qualitative and based on a quantitative method of analyzing. The primary data were collected through experiment method from adults (18 years and older), in Cyprus and Greece. The results confirm the current debate of using audiovisual media technologies within the educational process in technology-enhanced learning in education, both from the literature, and from the findings and results of various researches. This research is part of a larger, ongoing research that explores the multidisciplinary field that incorporates media, audiovisual content, and education (MACE), information and communications technologies (ICTs) in adult education (in Greece and Cyprus).

  • This is in accordance with previous researches which note that the type of storytelling is not as decisive as the story itself.

    “This is in accordance with previous researches which note that the type of storytelling is not as decisive as the story itself [4,16,21,23,44].”

    From Digital Storytelling in Cultural Heritage: Audience Engagement in the Interactive Documentary New Life (2021) · cites this paper as [16]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) suggests that participants’ interest may have depended more on audiovisual content than on the media technology used. That supports the general emphasis on content, but the paper does not compare types of storytelling with the stories themselves. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Online users discover their content through platform algorithms or through their personal bubble in social networks.

    “Online users discover their content through platform algorithms [33] or through their personal bubble in social networks [5,16,18].”

    From Digital Storytelling in Cultural Heritage: Audience Engagement in the Interactive Documentary New Life (2021) · cites this paper as [16]

    The citation to this paper is attached to the claim that users discover content through their personal bubble in social networks, not to the separate claim about platform algorithms. The Background and Literature Review mentions social media platforms, and the Discussion mentions recruiting participants through social-media groups, but neither explains how users discover content. Searches for a personal bubble, social-network sharing, and content discovery found no passage addressing that claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
