Presentation of contributors

- Jeff Bezemer is graduated (MA, 1999; PhD, 2003) from theTilburg University in the Netherlands. He then worked successively at Imperial College London and King's College London, before joining the Institute of Education at University College London where he is co-director of the Center for Multimodal Research (CMR). His research focuses on the effects of social and technological change on learning and communication in different contexts. For the past few years, he has worked more specifically on interprofessional communication, surgical education and clinical decision-making in the operating room. This work feeds the development of new theories and methods to study the role of the body, tools and action in learning and communication. He is particularly interested in how ethnographic and discursive studies could contribute to patient safety research.

- Ricky Goldman is graduated both from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (MA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD). She is now Professor Emerita in Educational Communication and technology at New York University (NYU). She is an expert in ethnographic approaches using video recordings to study teaching and learning situations. She has designed several digital video analysis tools and developed a methodological approach for analyzing complex corpus containing different types of data. She has conducted various researches in different social contexts, such as: social and emotional learning by girls from disadvantaged neighbourhoods in the context of a play-based learning programme; multimodal teacher-learner interactions in classes using robots or STEM classes. Her research works has been funded by several government agencies, including the Canadian's Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canada Foundation Innovation (CFI), and the US National Science Foundation (NSF).

- Alain Bouldoires is graduated from the University Bordeaux Montaigne (Phd, 2001) and assistant professor at the same university, where he teaches information and communication sciences. He is a member of the MICA laboratory (media, information, communication, arts). His work focuses on Visual Methods in the Humanities and Social Sciences and the relationship between media, identity and citizenship. He is co-founder, with Fabien Reix, of the French Review of Visual Methods created in 2015 (https://rfmv.fr). This interdisciplinary journal aims at providing a discusive space for dialogue between the humanities and social sciences on the visual methods issue (still and/or animated image) and, thus, to gradually build an overview of these methods, to which more and more researchers are resorting.

- Aurelio Castro-Varela has completed his thesis at the University of Barcelona, at the School of Fine Arts. He is now associate professor in this institution. As part of his research group (https://esbrina.eu/en/home/), he participated in a project on formal and informal teachers' learning trajectories, using methodologies based on visual mapping. This group has developed theoretical reflections on the use of this type of data for research in education. 

- Claudie Bobineau is a research engineer at the University of Rouen Normandie, attached to the CIRNEF laboratory. She is also an active member of the MATE SHS network (Methods, Analysis, fieldwork, Surveys in Human and Social Sciences - http://mate-shs.cnrs.fr). This is a national research network initiated and is supported by research engineers who work in the production, processing, analysis and representation of data in Human and Social Sciences (SHS). C. Bobineau is specialized in the use of QACDAS Computer Assisted/Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software), notably NVivo software. 

- Emilie Masson is a lawyer at the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) in France, where she is a member of the team of the "Correspondant Informatique et Liberté" (CIL). She is familiar with the content of french legislation on personal data (including film recordings of people, especially children) and its constraints and challenges for research in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

In addition to these external speakers, be several researchers and engineers from the ViSA consortium will contribute to the IR-Video3 workshop, in particular :

- Andrée Tiberghien, DR CNRS Emeritus (ICAR laboratory). She co-founded the ViSA consortium and the ViSA database and is a member of the ViSA steering committee. She has conducted extensive research in didactics, often using classroom video recordings.

- Patrice Venturini, Professor emeritus (EFTS Laboratory, Toulouse, France). He is the chair of the ViSA scientific committee.  He conducts research works on physics ordinary teaching and learning practices for several years, in a comparative approach.  This led him to develop theoretical and methodological reflections, especially about using video-recording to study this type of didactical practices. 

- Laurent Veillard, Associate professor HDR (habilitation degree) at Lyon 2 University and member of the ICAR laboratory. He is co-head of the ViSA consortium. His research works focuses on teaching and learning practices in VET training programs, using ethnographic approaches.

- Daniel Valéro, is research engineer at the ICAR laboratory, in charge of the complex corpus cell, which is a technical and methodological support unit for researchers.

- Justine Lascar, research engineer in the ICAR laboratory, member of the complex corpus cell.
