Abstract: Danmaku is an emerging commenting system of video platforms, displaying users’ comments on the top of the video. Limited studies have been conducted on learners’ cognitive engagement demonstrated in educational videos that embed Danmaku. In this paper, we used a content analysis method to categorize instructional behaviors that cause learners’ responses and further evaluate learners’ cognitive engagement. We identified that certain instructional behaviors cause more responses and higher-level learners’ cognitive engagement.

This paper is not available online right now, I will update when it's available 😃

Today I found a conference paper on a similar topic, but it is way more technical than us. Here is the link to their work:
