Grades, Tutoring and Student Perception: Do Embedded Videos Make a Difference in an Asynchronous Online Course?

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Three years of data were examined for an introductory college statistics course comparing results pre and post implementation of videos in support of discussions, assignments, homework, quizzes, and exams.  Frequency of external tutoring was significantly reduced (55%) and the number of tutoring hours was reduced by 51% for the course sections that included embedded videos. In this study, videos reduced the amount of extraneous cognitive load experienced by students since using tutoring resources external to the course requires additional time and effort on the part of students and tutors. A significant majority of students agreed or strongly agreed that the videos helped them understand course concepts and how to perform course calculations.
