Bringing the classroom to the Web: Effects of using new technologies to capture and deliver lectures

Abstract

Technology expands instructional options for faculty, and this study examines the differential learning effects of offering a lecture on physics to students in a traditional classroom versus internet video formats. Based on an experiment conducted in a natural educational context, results indicate enhanced transfer of lecture information in the video formats relative to the live condition, with students also responding more positively to personalized video presentation. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
