The Video Conferencing Technology Implications as an Educational Method on Undergraduate Students Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak is the greatest global health catastrophe and the largest threat facing humanity ever since the Second World War. It started in the Asia region in late 2019 and since then it has spread to almost every country on the planet, causing millions of people to be sick. The deadly disease has now reached the tragic milestone of one million deaths. It has surely impacted the world in most factors, especially in the education factor. The government has introduced social-distancing protocols that affect the teaching and learning process to decrease the infection rate. To cope with the situation, schools and universities implement long-distance teaching with video conference methods. This long-distance learning and teaching with video conference methods has several impacts on undergraduate students because, they are not accustomed to learning using this method, and that some courses require direct practices in the field. Therefore, this study is to gain a conclusion if long-distance teaching with video conference methods is effective, if it brings positive effects to the students in their learning process and if it motivates to study. This study’s sampling method is submitted through Google form wherein the questionnaires are aimed at undergraduate students to obtain their outcomes about the video conference method used in their learning process.
