Experiments were run in authentic teaching sessions with a total of 483 first-year higher education students. The methodology applied is a quasi-experimental design with post-test-only, being the independent variable, the device used to visualise the academic videos. Results indicate that the use of laptops has provided better results in terms of student’s engagement with the videos, their collaborative behaviour and satisfaction with the device. Hence, the findings of this research suggest that the type of mobile device used in activities that consider the use of videos in a collaborative class need to be carefully chosen to maximise the student’s comfortability – and in consequence, their engagement with the video-based learning activity and their positive behaviour and experience within the collaborative context.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Behaviour & Information Technology on 26 Nov 2018, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/0144929X.2018.1549596info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0144929X.2018.1549596Video-based learningComputer-supported collaborative learningHigher educationHuman-computer interactionSmartphonesLaptopsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
