q2 i? Communication preference partly predicts feature attention: ASL users valued sign/captions/voice over playback control, while spoken English users largely ignored sign language interpreting. → Gehret 2025

Gehret, A. U., & Elliot, L. B. (2025). Perceptions of e-learning by deaf and hard of hearing students using asynchronous multimedia tutorials. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-025-10476-z

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Survey of 32 DHH postsecondary students using asynchronous chemistry tutorials. The authors report that communication preference partly predicted feature attention, with ASL users valuing sign, captions, and voice over playback control, while spoken English users largely ignored the sign language interpreting.

"The communication preferences of students who are DHH partly predicted the features that they attend to while watching the tutorial. Most notably, users of ASL placed higher value on receiving information through the combination of sign language, captions, and voice than they did for having the ability to moderate playback."
