Videos increase motivation, learning & understanding (Farre et al. J ClinPharmac 2004;44:30-6). Increased dependence on the visual (Metros Theory into Practice 2008;47:102) Shift needed from basic e-learning (PowerPoint, websites, text) to newer technologies (Duffy Proc Conference E-learning 2007). Effectiveness of Online Technologies for Lab-Based Work J. J. Forsyth & N.J. Ellis, Staffordshire University
Effectiveness of Online Technologies for Lab-Based Work • Online students required real-life, laboratory-based experience. • Added synchronous technologies to asynchronous. • Aim: to evaluate the role and effectiveness of these online technologies in a solely online module.
Plan and design a bespoke battery of tests to determine the athletes’ physiological profile (part of summative assessment on the module)
Live Broadcast Interactive, videoconference Edited clips post-event Athlete and scientific reports (part of summative assessment)
Online questionnaires (n=12) Email and discussion board used more/more favourable, due to time constraints and lack of familiarity with the technologies. Telephone interviews (n=7), transcribed and analysed thematically (Braun & Clarke Qual Res Psychol2006:3;77-101) Analysis & Results
Analysis & Results ..a big thumbs up to the video clips Visual Different Understanding ...you get tired & sick of the same way of using Blackboard...[new technologies] really motivated you as you had something different to use ...I wouldn’t have known that if I hadn’t have been able to see it.
Analysis & Results “Live” Work commitments I maybe didn’t actually get to use it as much as I would have liked... Other options needed Personaltouch Real She was always there You’ve been on this journey with this athlete... Tutor needed
Students said they were more engaged in the module, and they understood things better, as the technologies were differentand realistic, & made their learning more alive and relevant (as with Farre et al. 2004; also Mills & Mills. In Henri et al. 2000. New millennium, new horizons, pp. 202-205) ‘Old’ technologies (email, video clips) are still needed, due to unfamiliarity and time constraints with live broadcasting Tutorneeds to be proactive Conclusions
