Automatic Judgement of Online Video Watching: I Know Whether or Not You Watched

Abstract

Videos have long been viewed through the free choice of customers, but in some cases currently, watching them is absolutely required, for example, in institutions, companies, and education, even if the viewers prefer otherwise. In such cases, the video provider wants to determine whether the viewer has honestly been watching, but the current video viewing judging system has many loopholes; thus, it is hard to distinguish between honest viewers and false viewers. Time interval different answer popup quiz (TIDAPQ) was developed to judge honest watching. In this study, TIDAPQ randomly inserts specially developed popup quizzes in the video. Viewers must solve time interval pass (RESULT 1) and individually different correct answers (RESULT 2) while they watch. Then, using these two factors, TIDAPQ immediately performs a comprehensive judgement on whether the viewer honestly watched the video. To measure the performance of TIDAPQ, 100 experimental subjects were recruited to participate in the model verification experiment. The judgement performance on normal watching was 93.31%, and the judgement performance on unusual watching was 85.71%. We hope this study will be useful in many areas where watching judgements are needed.

Challenges and Opportunities: Experiences of Mathematics Lecturers Engaged in Emergency Remote Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Some specifically mentioned using what they had learned in the "real" classroom, echoing the work of Kearns [37], who found that the experience of teaching online had a positive impact upon the in-person teaching of some instructors. Others intend to move to a more blended approach in future, or at least provide recordings of lectures, which generally prove popular with students [38], although there are questions around whether videos that appear to have been watched actually have been [39]. Although a tenth of those who commented here volunteered unprompted that they never wanted to teach online again, this figure is largely in line with other findings on the experience of online teaching [40].…”

“…They can be distributed online or in the educational kiosks at points of sale [Hathaway et al, 2021]. In addition, time intervals and different answer popup quizzes (TIDAPQ) help diagnose where the video was watched [Yi et al, 2020] and support the materials' assessment.…”
