Chinese Students’ Video Showing Experience During COVID-19 in 2020

Qing LIU, Albert Evans

Abstract


When teaching shifted to online during the 2020 spring semester, Chinese students and instructors relied on online learning platforms and social communication tools to cope with the situation. Many of the apps offered real-time video interaction, however participants often did not show themselves on video. A lower percentage of video showing was incongruous with the massive use of video conferencing apps. This paper tries to find out Chinese students’ video-showing behavior and understand their reason to show and not show themselves through a survey and a reflection. Personal, technical unpreparedness and lower engagement in the at-home environment were the major hinderance for not showing video and the instructor’s request was the major reason for showing video. This paper provides novice understanding on Chinese students’ video showing behavior, as well as suggestions for creating more engaged online learning environment.
