“…H1: When learners view panoramic videos, live interpretation is more likely than AI narration to attract their attention (H1a), increase their emotions (H1b), and yield a good experience (H1c). The underlying rationale for this hypothesis comes from the fact that AI narration suffers from a lack of emotion, which, in turn, affects the learning experience (Alejandro et al, 2021;Yingmin, 2023).…”

Panoramic video and virtual reality technologies create learning environments that provide learners with an “immersive” experience. In recent years, panoramic video design to create immersive learning environments, in particular, has become an increasingly popular topic in teacher education and educational research. However, few studies have explored the elements of panoramic virtual learning environment screens regarding the design of learning environments. Therefore, this experimental study uses eye-tracking technology to investigate how learners are guided by panoramic video elements in a panoramic virtual learning environment. Participants (n = 90) were randomly assigned to one of six conditions: (1) no caption + live interpretation, (2) no caption + AI interpretation, (3) 120-degree caption + live interpretation, (4) 120-degree caption + AI interpretation, (5) static follow caption + live interpretation, and (6) static follow caption + AI interpretation. The results of the study show that when learners experience a panoramic virtual learning environment with different narration methods, the live interpretation method is more likely to attract learners’ attention and bring better emotion and experience than the AI interpretation method. When experiencing a panoramic virtual learning environment with different caption presentation methods, the caption presentation methods induced learners’ attention, learning emotions, and experiences in the order of no caption >120-degree caption > static following caption. Finally, the rules for optimizing the design of panoramic virtual learning environment screens are given based on the findings of the study, which provide new ideas for designing and developing panoramic video teaching resources.

“…Practices of overcoming language barriers in OER have been studied in the world: in several aspects. For example, the rapid progress of modern AI tools for automatic speech recognition and machine translation is leading to a progressive cost reduction to produce publishable subtitles for educational videos in multiple languages (Pérez et al, 2021).…”

Objective. In any given country, the national language and education not only help to impart knowledge but also broaden the horizons of students, teaching them to be more tolerant of different cultures. Today, the Ukrainian language as an important component of national identity and state building is one of the main goals of Russia in its war against Ukraine. That is why one of the main challenges for higher education in Ukraine during wartime is to create modern and high-quality educational materials in the national language as quickly as possible, in order to facilitate remote teaching, learning and research processes at universities. The mechanism for responding to this challenge is to turn to the experience of creating, adapting and using Open Educational Resources (OER) in Europe and the rest of the world. The aim of the study is to consider the practices of creating, adapting and using OER in European universities and libraries in the context of their benefits, including the possibilities of overcoming language barriers in times of crisis. Methods. This article is based on the analysis of the literature on OER practices in facilitating the overcoming of language barriers, on the activities of ENOEL, on the practices of librarians and educationalists of several European universities, as well as on self-reflection and direct experience of the circumstances of the war by Ukrainian librarians, who continue information support of the educational process. Results. The theoretical aspects and implemented practical solutions demonstrate that OER can be an effective solution in times of crisis (whether a pandemic or a war) to the issue of quality information support of distance education with materials in the national language in any country in Europe and the world. In the context of higher education in Ukraine, OER is a means and one of the methods of overcoming linguocide by the Russian Federation – the purposeful destruction of the Ukrainian language as the main feature of the ethnic group. The experience of working with OER of the USUST Scientific Library (Dnipro, Ukraine) is the story of a library that was looking for opportunities to answer its local challenges and resolve problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, and found solutions that became necessary during the war with Russia. Conclusions. The authors hope that Ukrainian-language OER will soon become a mandatory element in the cultural environment of Ukrainian universities. And it is OER that can help overcome Ukrainian linguocide in educational resources. The experience of librarians of the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL) proves that one of the most important roles in this is played by university librarians.
