Digital Pedagogy and Academic Libraries: A Study of Teaching Staff's Use of Online Educational Videos

Abstract Through the use of online instructional videos from sites like YouTube, NPTEL, SWAYAM, and Coursera, digital pedagogy has revolutionized higher education by facilitating flipped classrooms, concept clarification, and multimedia-rich instruction. The utilization of these videos by teaching staff and its effects on academic library services are investigated in this study. [1] The study examines the usage of online instructional videos for digital pedagogy by teaching staff at Arts, Science and Commerce College, Burhannagar, and ATSS College, as well as their knowledge of library-mediated resources and the ensuing changes in library dependency and service requirements. 44 teaching staff members were polled using a descriptive-analytical mixed-methods approach, and both college librarians were interviewed in a systematic manner. Thematic coding, graphics, and percentage distributions were all used in data analysis. The results showed a decrease in in-person library visits, a greater preference for digital resources, a greater dependence on online videos, and a decrease in print and reference usage. To stay relevant as partners in digital pedagogy, libraries must transition to video subscription portal integration, policy adjustments, and e-infrastructure upgrades. [2]
