Multi-Brain Scanning Approaches in Video Education: Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Learning

Considering video education, there are both synchronous and asynchronous pathways, and both multi-brain scanning approaches are appropriate in this field. Due to the epidemic, teachers have frequently switched from traditional classroom instruction to online instruction and are using synchronous video platforms (such as Zoom) to engage students in real-time, interactive learning. In this situation, hyperscanning technology might be suitable. However, the flexibility, convenience, and scale of the synchronous video education approach are somewhat constrained by the time, place, and network speed of teachers and students. Consequently, students typically require asynchronous video learning through open educational platforms like MOOCs, where teaching and learning take place at different times and locations. The asynchronous model is a quasi-social interaction, whereby students only connect with the teacher on one side, and the teacher is unable to provide real-time feedback on students' learning behavior. Therefore, sequence scanning is highly ecological and authentic in examining this particular quasi-social interaction.
