“…They draw on different disciplines and areas of knowledge and appear in many different forms, such as short videos, "Reels, " and so on, each potentially exhibiting substantial differences in design. Explanation videos are also available on-demand on many online platforms (e.g., YouTube), which played an important role in furthering their use and acceptance during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide (cf., e.g., Yaacob and Saad, 2020;Breslyn and Green, 2022;Trabelsi et al, 2022;Lu, 2023). However, even before this latest explosion in use, there was already a long established research tradition addressing the question of what makes an explanation video effective (or not).…”

In this paper, we consider the issue of how the fine-grained multimodal design of educational explanation videos, such as those widely available on YouTube and other platforms, may be made accessible to empirical studies of reception and effectiveness. This is necessary because previous research has often led to conflicting conclusions concerning the roles of particular design elements. We argue that this may largely be due to insufficient characterizations of multimodal design itself. To achieve tighter control of this potential source of variation, we present a multimodal descriptive annotation framework drawing on multimodal (cohesive) film discourse analysis. This framework is seen as a critical first step toward being able to highlight just those differences in design that have functional consequences. For such consequences to accrue, however, viewers need to attend differently to corresponding design differences. The goal of the current paper, therefore, is to use eye-tracking techniques to explore the extent to which discourse structures revealed by our analytic framework relate to recipients' attention allocation. We hypothesize that any potentially emerging anomalies in regards to discourse organization, such as instances of unsuccessful cohesion signaling, may have correlations in the behavioral data. We report our current state of development for performing this kind of multimodal cohesion analysis and some of the unresolved challenges raised when considering how such analyses may be related to performance data.
