    The purpose of this thesis project was to conduct an explorative study on how to make effective instructional videos for a blended learning environment. There are four objectives formulated for the study. The first objective was to identify best practices and principles that make an instructional video effective and engaging. The second was to assess suitable tools and equipment that are used to record and edit educational videos. The third was to create video production guidelines on how to self-produce instructional videos. The final objective was to record, edit, and produce instructional video samples. The theoretical framework was guided by the cognitive theory of multimedia learning that explains how students learn from multimedia lessons and how educational video content creators achieve instructional goals. Learning experiences of both asynchronous and synchronous e-Learning were also addressed. This study was conducted using a student-centric approach where the focus is on the student needs while technology is adjusted to support the learning process. Primary data was collected through testing and benchmarking of digital tools used for screen recording and video production. Improvements were implemented according to the client’s feedback delivered via Zoom video interviews and email correspondence. This served as the basis for how the learning content was formulated and was also used to guide the content of the instructional video samples. There were two outcomes for this study: the first were the video production guidelines that present a step-by-step instruction on how to record and edit instructional videos. The second outcome consisted of sample videos that integrate the key findings on effective practices and principles in making instructional videos.All deliverables from this thesis can be accessed at https://poncardas.com/thesis

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
