Students' Views on the Use of ClassBoost in a Teachers' Education College
Levin, Orna; Avidov-Ungar, Orit
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, v34 n6 p816-827 Dec 2018
There has been a recent acceleration in the use of lecture capture technologies (LCT) in higher education institutions. The present study focuses on an LCT system, by the name of ClassBoost, which has recently been introduced in some classes in an academic college of education in Israel. The system encourages collaborative learning skills at different levels, and the research focused on the students' attitudes towards the system from a procedural viewpoint at two stages of its assimilation: before the use of the system and during its use. Emphasis is given to the students' collaborative learning patterns and learning practices from their own viewpoints. A unique finding is that students felt that their participation in lessons contributed to the effectiveness of the teaching. The research aims to supplement existing research on the use of LCT systems, this time in teacher education, and to point up practical implications, especially for academic colleges of education.
