Abstract

The present proposal presents two studies aiming to examine the conditions under which user engagement with YouTube videos related to climate change supports learning. Study I examined the context of interaction within the platform - threaded comments vs. independent comments. Study II, using machine learning, examined video content characteristics and presenters. Results showed that both video content characteristics and the context of interaction are related with learning. Threaded comments included more counterarguments and knowledge claims, compared with independent comments. Videos with scientists as presenters were more effective compared with videos with politicians or celebrities. Also, videos containing suggestions and solutions were the most effective, whereas videos containing blame for whose fault climate change were the least effective. Our findings show that YouTube has the potential to create communities of shared interest, with a shared commitment to solve a problem, making YouTube a promising platform to promote CSCL but also responsible citizenship.
