Experimental Research on How Instructing Students to Use Lecture Capture (Podcasting) Technology Affects Student Learning in Higher Education
Hall, William A., Jr.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Kentucky
Students' use of new technology is prevalent. Many of them own mobile phones, laptop computers, and various entertainment devices. However, they are seldom taught how to maximize these technologies for academic purposes. This experimental study examined whether students who received instructions on how to use podcasts for academic purposes performed better academically than those who did not. The Podcast Instruction group (experimental group) was given access to both the podcast and the podcast instruction while the Podcast Only group received access to the podcast only. The analysis of the results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
