In September 2021, Nishio will give an invited talk at The 54th Meeting of Young Scientists in Information Science, and proposed the style of “presenters sharing videos in Scrapbox in advance” which was well received at Unexplored Junior 2021 Boost Conference. Scrapbox style,” which was popular at the Unexplored Junior 2021 Boost Conference. After discussion with the Executive Committee, the meeting was held in the following style with a few adjustments :
| Invited Lectures Video shared in advance No playback on the day of the event Discussion between the presenter and two organizers will be shown. |
|---|
| General Presentations Video will be shared in advance and replayed on the day of the presentation. |
| Lightning Talks No video sharing in advance |

Communicate on Scrapbox during presentation time
-
Playing the video on the day of the event was a new experiment.
- Can create additional value for active participants without detracting from the experience of participants who envision a traditional presentation event
-
As far as Nishio is aware, this is the third example of Presentation Video Pre-Scrapbox Sharing Style, following talk.cpp.
Whether to play the video on the same day
- Preliminary Executive Committee Discussion
- Cannot ask participants to commit as much as unexplored juniors.
- There will be people who will not see the video before the day of the event.
- → Video will be played on the day of the event.
- This is where it differs significantly from previous attempts
- Example /talkcpp/talk.cpp.
-
No video will be shown on the day of the event, presenters will verbally + screen-share answers and other supplementary discussions based on questions and comments in the Scrapbox
-
- Although the scheduled playback speed was 1x, a phenomenon was observed on the day of the presentation where the presenter requested “playback at 1.5x speed”.
- A viewer commented that 1.5x playback results in less distracting filler such as “uh
- Comments from participants on the day of the event
- A format that does not play video is viable even if the audience does not watch the video beforehand if the content is a discussion.
- However, it is usually difficult to design lectures that entertain both “viewers” and “non-viewers”.
- Maybe we need a “strong style” that says “video must be viewed in advance.”
- In fact, the last two cases were both strong-style
- Participant feedback after the Unexplored Junior Boost Conference
-
YoshifumiSeki: I liked the format of the Junior Boost Conference. I’m glad to see that everyone has a certain level of intelligence and motivation, and since we are basically volunteers, we can leave out those who don’t follow us, but the performance was still very good and enjoyable.

Ultimately, this is about the design philosophy of what kind of place you want to create.
-
- Because of the event style of recruiting through Compass and having an unspecified number of participants, we observed people making assumptions based on associations with other events.
- Participant Comments
- I didn’t realize the work needed to be done prior to the day of the event.
- There was an assumption that I only needed to devote my time on the day of the event.
- Participant Comments
- Participant feedback after the Unexplored Junior Boost Conference
- Is the style of playing the video at the time of the event boring people who watched the video beforehand?
- Not surprisingly.
- Participant Comments
- Might as well watch it twice.
- Sometimes I miss announcements when I’m posting on online communication tools (chat, Scrapbox, etc.).
- View the presentation in advance to understand the content, and on the day of the presentation, communicate with the audience while viewing in real time.
- Might as well watch it twice.
- Impressions of Nishio
- I took the strong style approach of watching all the videos in advance and commenting on them.
- I thought the second one would be boring, but it wasn’t.
- Excess cognitive resources can be allocated to communication on Scrapbox.
- Example: The
- Teaching people who don’t realize that icon notation can be produced with Ctrl+i.
- Point out when the management stops the video without realizing that there is more to the video.
- Example: The
- In real-time lectures, there is often a situation where “the management pays the labor cost but receives little benefit,” because the cognitive resources are taken up by the management and the audience is unable to listen to what they wanted to hear or ask questions.
Communicate on Scrapbox during presentation time
- Can be co-edited in real time.
- The psychological barrier for the writer to respond in text form is as low as Announcement Parallel Chat.
- I thought I was, but maybe some people found it hard to write? I can’t observe that.
- The fact that Scrapbox is a medium for honest additions, unlike chat, allows presenters to react after the fact.
- Plus, the fact that the presentation is a video playback allows the presenter to participate in the communication in real time as well.
- Questions of those who heard the presentation were answered during the presentation.
- Plus, the fact that the presentation is a video playback allows the presenter to participate in the communication in real time as well.
- A participant expressed concern that Scrapbox’s collaborative editing may not work well with read-outs, etc., and may cause accessibility issues
Regarding 1.5x playback
- Several participants said they always watch lecture-based videos at 1.5x.
-
Usually you have to choose between “1x listening in real time” or “1.5x viewing after the fact in the archive”, but this format is very good because you can “watch 1.5x in advance” and participate in real time discussions!
-
1.5x viewing makes it easier to stay focused. numeric data
