Development And Assessment
of Digital
Audiovisual YouTube Lectures For
An Engineering Course In Numerical
Methods
Cyberlearning is transforming education by offering course
content throu gh multiple context and platforms. As part of this transformation,
this paper describes the experience of preparing, recording, uploading,
organizing, and assessing audiovisual lectures for an engineering course in
Numerical Methods. More than 250 short modular videos are currently available
that cover the syllabus of a comprehensive undergraduate course in Numerical
Methods for Engineers. The motivation for the development of the audiovisual
lectures was based on a pilot study that showed that the examination performance
and student satisfaction increased with the availability of audiovisual
lectures. A final assessment of these resources made via a video analytics tool
shows increasing popularity of the videos, gives insight into the audience
attention, and presents demographics by gender, age, and geography. In addition,
a summative rating survey of the courseware shows significant increase in the
value of the quality of content and enhancement in student learning.
