The Evaluation of Video Meeting Types for Online Teaching-Learning

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, the teaching-learning process was completely performed online due to COVID-19 existed. To support this process, a lecturer was typically used a kind of video meetings to present the teaching materials. The first type is the video-conferencing meeting in which students and lecturers can directly interact during activities. The next type is the video-recording meeting for which students view the teaching materials through a recorded video without any interactions with their lecturer. However, it is still unknown what types of video meetings are fit for online activities. Hence, this study aims to identify which video meeting types are suitable for online teaching-learning. The students (n=160) were asked to attend the online class and pay attention to the learning materials through each type of video meetings. We gained students attendance data from the lecture activities on the e-learning system. Following this, the students judged two video meeting types on how suitable they considered each type could be used for online teaching-learning. A 7-point rating scale was used to obtain the student judgments. In general, the student's attendance rate was better when the course materials were presented through the video-conferencing meeting as compared to those through the video-recording meeting. Furthermore, the video-conferencing meeting was also regarded as more appropriate to online teaching-learning than the video-recording meeting. Thus, the present results suggested that the video-conferencing meeting was a proper meeting type to present the course materials online and the lecturer can have an open dialogue in real-time.
