Teaching online or on-campus? - What students say about desktop videoconferencing

Abstract

In order to refine online teaching environments, we ask: What do in-service student teachers (n=32) and master's degree students (n=24) say about desktop videoconferencing (DVC), and how has DVC influenced online teaching and learning? 56 students have completed a survey. Focus group interviews (n=11) and recordings from lessons were also part of the data collected. Our students say that they can cope with the practical and technological issues. The responses indicate there are changes according to student attendance when using DVC. © Universitetsforlaget.
