“A picture is worth a thousand words” TCC Conference 2011

“A picture is worth a thousand words” For example, inflight safety instructions…. 1. Insert the metal fittings one into the other, and tighten by pulling on the loose end of the strap. 2. To release your seat belt, lift the upper portion of the buckle. In the event of a decompression, an oxygen mask will automatically appear in front of you. 1. To start the flow of oxygen, pull the mask towards you. 2. Place it firmly over your nose and mouth, secure the elastic band behind your head, and breathe normally. TCC Conference 2011

Screencasting Ø What is screencasting? Screen capture of the actions on a user’s computer screen with accompanying audio Ø What is Jing? Screencasting software TCC Conference 2011

Purpose of instructional design project: To develop and evaluate a video based instructional module created with Jing to enhance the level of understanding of faculty using the University of Hawai`i e. Travel website. TCC Conference 2011

Ø Conventional Classroom Training: e. Travel Training + Paper Handouts Ø Challenges and Problems • Lack knowledge of University’s e. Travel process • Online travel forms too complicated • Not complying with travel procedures TCC Conference 2011

Demonstrating how something works and providing additional explanations from a computer screen is helpful for employees (Brown-Sica, Sobel, & Pan, 2009)

Ø Images can alleviate visual barriers (Carr & Ly, 2009) Ø Screencasts used in educational settings to visually illustrate difficult concepts (Carr & Ly, 2009) Ø Two characteristics common in visual learning: 1) Interaction with the media, and 2) multiple sensory perceptions (Tempelman-Kluit, 2006) TCC Conference 2011

Site and Participants • Site: University of Hawai`i – West O`ahu • Target audience: Instructional faculty at UHWO Module Design • Various tools used to create instructional module • ADDIE Model (Gagne, Wager, Golas & Keller, 2005 TCC Conference 2011

Step 1: Consent Form to Participate in Study TCC Conference 2011

Step 2: Pre-test Multiple Choice questions TCC Conference 2011

Step 3: Watch Three (3) Video Tutorials Video 1: How to Log-in e. Travel & Profiler Video 2: How to Create a Travel Request Video 3: How to Create a Travel Completion TCC Conference 2011

Step 4: Post test Multiple Choice Questions TCC Conference 2011

Step 5: Post Attitudinal Survey TCC Conference 2011

ØPre-test scores lacked knowledge. ØResults of questions 3 & 5 scored an average of 100%. ØQ 3 & 5 learners averaged a score of 100% for pre and post test, indicating concept could have been an entry level (EL) object. ØLearners scores improved on post test. ØAverage score for pre-test was 86%; post test was 93%. Ø 7% increase between test. TCC Conference 2011

ØNone of the learners rated any of the statements “strongly disagree” or “disagree”. ØPedagogical strategies rated at least an average of 90%. TCC Conference 2011

Post Attitudinal Survey Feedbacks “The video tutorials were very helpful…made using e. Travel a lot smoother”. “Nice to learn at your own pace”. TCC Conference 2011 “Learned a lot of valuable information through the video”. “If you didn’t understand part of the instruction you could replay the video”. “A video demonstration is better than reading my travel notes”.

Ø Video based learning was an effective method for delivering step-by-step instruction and helpful in illustrating complex technical tasks. Ø Learners can re-play the video and reinforce their learning. Ø Low scores in qualitative analysis implies examining content and design of module. Ø Further research will need to be conducted to include support staff and administrators. TCC Conference 2011

Ø Results confirm that video-based learning appealed to the learning preference of faculty. Ø Video technology has a great potential to provide learning experience in learning complex tasks and delivering step-by-step instructions. Ø Process of planning and organizing instruction is critical. TCC Conference 2011
