The advent of sites such as YouTube has allowed learners to access videos to support their classroom learning. Given the varying quality and content of chemistry instructional videos, identifying and selecting appropriate videos can be challenging for both instructors and students. This article aims to summarize education research important for creating videos to support students’ conceptual chemistry learning and identify ways these criteria can be operationalized for use in the framework to evaluate or guide the development of instructional videos focused on conceptual understanding of chemistry topics. The framework helps the user consider the chemistry content of the video through the lenses of the disciplinary Core Ideas, Science Practices, causal mechanistic reasoning, and Johnstone’s Triangle. It also includes design considerations from Mayer’s multimedia theory and considerations for accessibility. Finally, we summarize findings and insights gained from using the framework to evaluate a set of 25 highly viewed or highly relevant YouTube videos related to Le Chatelier’s Principle.

Understanding Embodied Robotics Learning Using Video Based LLM Methods
In this talk, we have presented the use of LLM to study the embodied learning. We have discovered that the use of LLM is really effective to summarize the videos of embodied learning and conventional learning. LLM is also very effective in summarize the sentiment of the user comments of the two different videos. Correlation between the user comments and video content was also made. It is discovered that the use of the embodied learning is rather effective to engage learners in learning robotics

Budak, Ceren; Cha, Meeyoung; Quercia, Daniele; Xie, Lexing (Ed.)We present the first large-scale measurement study of cross-partisan discussions between liberals and conservatives on YouTube, based on a dataset of 274,241 political videos from 973 channels of US partisan media and 134M comments from 9.3M users over eight months in 2020. Contrary to a simple narrative of echo chambers, we find a surprising amount of cross-talk: most users with at least 10 comments posted at least once on both left-leaning and right-leaning YouTube channels. Cross-talk, however, was not symmetric. Based on the user leaning predicted by a hierarchical attention model, we find that conservatives were much more likely to comment on left-leaning videos than liberals on right-leaning videos. Secondly, YouTube's comment sorting algorithm made cross-partisan comments modestly less visible; for example, comments from conservatives made up 26.3% of all comments on left-leaning videos but just over 20% of the comments were in the top 20 positions. Lastly, using Perspective API's toxicity score as a measure of quality, we find that conservatives were not significantly more toxic than liberals when users directly commented on the content of videos. However, when users replied to comments from other users, we find that cross-partisan replies were more toxic than co-partisan replies on both left-leaning and right-leaning videos, with cross-partisan replies being especially toxic on the replier's home turf.more » « less

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated unprecedented capability in code generation. However, LLM-generated code is still plagued with a wide range of functional errors, especially for complex programming tasks that LLMs have not seen before. Recent studies have shown that developers often struggle with inspecting and fixing incorrect code generated by LLMs, diminishing their productivity and trust in LLM-based code generation. Inspired by the mutual grounding theory in communication, we propose an interactive approach that leverages code comments as a medium for developers and LLMs to establish a shared understanding. Our approach facilitates iterative grounding by interleaving code generation, inline comment generation, and contextualized user feedback through editable comments to align generated code with developer intent. We evaluated our approach on two popular benchmarks and demonstrated that our approach significantly improved multiple state-of-the-art LLMs, e.g., 17.1% pass@1 improvement for code-davinci-002 on HumanEval. Furthermore, we conducted a user study with 12 participants in comparison to two baselines: (1) interacting with GitHub Copilot, and (2) interacting with a multi-step code generation paradigm called Multi-Turn Program Synthesis. Participants completed the given programming tasks 16.7% faster and with 10.5% improvement in task success rate when using our approach. Both results show that interactively refining code comments enables the collaborative establishment of mutual grounding, leading to more accurate code generation and higher developer confidence.more » « less

In this work, we introduce SMART-LLM, an innovative framework designed for embodied multi-robot task planning. SMART-LLM: Smart Multi-Agent Robot Task Planning using Large Language Models (LLMs), harnesses the power of LLMs to convert high-level task instructions provided as input into a multi-robot task plan. It accomplishes this by executing a series of stages, including task decomposition, coalition formation, and task allocation, all guided by programmatic LLM prompts within the few-shot prompting paradigm. We create a benchmark dataset designed for validating the multi-robot task planning problem, encompassing four distinct categories of high-level instructions that vary in task complexity. Our evaluation experiments span both simulation and real-world scenarios, demonstrating that the proposed model can achieve promising results for generating multi-robot task plans. The experimental videos, code, and datasets from the work can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/smart-llm/.more » « less

Hsu, Jeremy L (Ed.)ABSTRACT: In this era of information abundance and digital connectivity, educational videos are a transformative and widely used resource in STEM higher education. Much of what is known about the effective use of educational videos comes from analyzing videos used for content delivery and the impacts on knowledge gains or behavioral engagement with videos. Less is known about how videos may impact students’ affective learning experiences, feelings, and attitudes or how to effectively use videos in science education beyond just as a content-delivery tool. This study explored the impact of three distinct video styles: a whiteboard animation, a recorded discovery lecture by one of the discoverers, and a documentary short film featuring both discoverers in conversation on student outcomes in a large-enrollment undergraduate biology class. Students were randomized to watch one of these three formats, all covering the same scientific content (i.e., the Meselson and Stahl experiment), followed by a post-video survey. The documentary film, “The Most Beautiful Experiment,” which integrated interpersonal storytelling and informal dialog, had the most significant impact on outcomes related to affective learning, including science identity, attitudes about biology, speaker relatability, and emotional engagement. No significant differences in knowledge gains were observed across video styles. This study highlights the potential of personalized and embodied video formats to enrich STEM education and warrants further research into their broader applications.more » « less
