Abstract
While online education has been widely studied, the impact of webcams on online learning remains underexplored. Combining a scientometric study with strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis, this study examines the application of webcams in online education. It identifies research trends; the top 10 cited authors, organizations, countries, and sources; as well as hot research topics in this field. These hotspots include the effectiveness of webcam-based instruction, student engagement, and the integration of webcams into online learning platforms. The strengths of webcams in online education lie in their ability to enhance interaction and promote a more authentic learning experience. The weaknesses include technical challenges, privacy concerns, and the potential for distractions. Opportunities for the use of webcams in online education include their increasing availability and affordability, as well as the potential for remote tutoring and language translation services. Threats include security issues and challenges related to asynchronous communication.
