ABSTRACT
The teaching trend is shifting towards online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this, micro-lectures (MIL) are gaining popularity. Generally, assignments follow MIL to make learners comfortable with the concept explained in the MIL. So, the traditional micro-lecturing process (MILP) aims to enhance students' concept understanding skills. However, according to Bloom's taxonomy, understanding, application, and error handling are three fundamental skills required for students' overall academic development. Hence, traditional MILs fail to nurture the other two skills. So, is it possible to integrate application and error handling skills in the traditional micro-lecturing process? This research provides a handle to address this research question by proposing the micro-tutorial strategy. This strategy modifies the traditional MILP by doping it with micro-tutorials (MTUT). This modified MILP is called the micro-tutorial-based MILP. This process can simultaneously enhance students' understanding, application, and error handling skills. To prove the validity of the proposed strategy, we floated a 'C' programming course in which we lectured students using the proposed strategy and observed fantastic results. We believe that this research opens new dimensions for designing pedagogically effective MILs. © 2022 IEEE.
