A Students Perspective: Online Educational Techniques Improved by Increased Video Segments

Abstract

Online education is an emerging educational tool supporting user preferences. In the current on-demand world, education without time constraints is an attractive method for furthering education for many students. The one drawbacks of online education is the lack of face-toface relationship and personal attention from professors. By using ondemand video that the student can download at their leisure, the perception of face-to-face and personal attention can still be achieved and result in more effective education. This paper discusses the iTunes U application and other video educational tools for future online course integration.
