Interactive Web Page to Teach How to Create an e-Portfolio

Abstract

Learning a new technical computer program in a traditional face-to-face classroom lecture might be challenging because the students depend solely on their own note taking and handouts. In contrast to this, online screen captured video instructions with narrated voice over are permanently available with a functioning Internet connection. Students can revisit the clips and can make use of the pause button at their own discretion to comprehend the material. The purpose of this instructional design project was to develop and evaluate a web-based interactive module on how to create e-portfolios for art students at University of Hawai‘i Maui College. Although the module was aimed for college students, five college instructors, with intermediate computer knowledge, tested the module as appropriate experts for evaluation purposes. The data collected from the pre- and post-test showed that the screen captured video tutorials with voice over were highly effective in teaching technical instructions. Additionally, according to the attitudinal survey the participants responded well to the online learning module.
