TIME COMPRESSION EFFECTS OF VIDEOTAPES ON STUDENTS

A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using time-compressed videotapes in engineering education. Students in Junior level engineering economy classes were divided into groups and instructed for five consecutive classes either by regular speed videotape, 30% time-compressed videotape, or conventional live lecture. Student performance was evaluated through five-minute quizzes administered immediately after the videotapes were shown and through test scores on one-hour exams. An eight-item questionnaire was also distributed to obtain student opinion of the instructional methods. On the basis of the experimental results, a significant time saving from a learner's point of view can be achieved through time compression of videotaped lectures.
