“…Educational videos can improve students' skills and prosocial behaviour, promote cognitive engagement by aiding students in understanding key concepts, and foster eff ective engagement by creating a sense of teacher presence (Beal and Hontvedt, 2023;Ramalia, 2023;Boté-Vericad, 2022). Eff ective videos should be concise, uncluttered, and focused on a single learning objective, complemented by learning activities to enhance student engagement (French et al, 2023).…”

Abstract Purpose. The use of educational videos in higher education is progressively widespread among professors and students. Numerous digital platforms worldwide provide publicly available educational videos. This study investigates the perceptions of LIS students in three countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Spain, specifically focusing on their search for educational videos on YouTube. Additionally, it examines their habits, motivations, and reasons for searching educational videos in relation to their studies. Methodology. In this study, the authors employed the focus group technique. Two focus groups were conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one in Croatia, and two in Spain. The sample consisted of LIS students selected through convenience sampling. The age range of the students was approximately 19 to 25 years old. Limitations. This study has a few limitations. One of the limitations is that some students had to communicate in English, which is not their native language. While they were quite fluent, it is possible that some nuances in the interaction may have been missed. Results. The results show that LIS students have similar motivations for searching for educational videos, such as improving their knowledge and having more or new information than what is provided in class. However, there are differences in the way they consume educational videos. The number of videos available in their native language generates a different cultural approach, as well as the use of different strategies for searching for educational videos. Originality/value. This study examines the variations in information behaviour regarding the use of educational videos on YouTube among LIS students from different countries, highlighting the contrasting contexts.

“…The existing literature on DST has focused mainly on teachers' attitudes and perceptions of students in elementary schools (Fortinasari et al, 2022). Ramalia (2023) stated that further studies are needed to understand the importance of DST in higher education.…”

The current paper attempted to measure the effects of digital storytelling (DST) on motivation, self-directed learning (SDL), and vocabulary learning of Omani EFL students. To achieve this goal, 40 learners participated in this study, divided equally into control and experimental groups. Three main instruments were used in this study as pretests and posttests, including the Self-Rating Scale of SDL adopted from Williamson (2007), the Motivation Questionnaire adapted from Mehdiyev et al. (2017), and the researcher-designed vocabulary test. Both groups received face-to-face instructions; however, the experimental group was exposed to extra sessions for creating DST projects. The results of the study in motivation and SDL showed that both groups progressed as the results of instructions, but the experimental group was slightly better. However, in the vocabulary test, the experimental group significantly performed better than the other group. These findings can help teachers, institutions, and students better use the technological resources in language learning environments.
