Esse Ciego 2026¶

Esse Ciego, Shubbhi Taneja, Wilson Wong, and Amanpreet Kapoor. (2026). Student Perceptions and Preferences Regarding AI-Generated Instructional Videos in Computing Education. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.28203 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.28203

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Likert items on future inclusion of AI videos in coursework, from the same post-survey of 170 students. Comfort with AI videos as instructional material was nearly evenly split (46% agreeing, 39% disagreeing, 𝜇= 3.00), while these two items drew clear opposition.

"68% of 170 students disagreed that they would prefer AI videos over videos recorded by their instructor or course staff (𝜇= 2.06, 𝜎= 1.06; only 10% agreed), and 62% disagreed that they would trust information in an AI video as much as in a human-presented one (𝜇= 2.24, 𝜎= 1.14; 17% agreed)."

• Guo et al. found engagement depends on video production style: short videos, talking heads on slides, Khan-style drawing more engaging than slides or coding, classroom recording weak online — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
