Journal Title: International Journal of Social Sciences and Education - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Software courses include a variety of mathematical, technical or graphical skills. Therefore, students need to accomplish different educational practices to be successful. They should struggle with the fast paces of the lectures during the active course times. It is always hard to both understand the theoretical content of coding and use it to create practical solutions. Video records of the lectures can be used as supportive instructional technologies to improve the software skills of the students. In this concept, the main purpose of the study was defined as comparing the effectiveness of Using Tablet or Desktop PC in Video-Supported Education. This is a part of scientific Project (Project Number: 2012-09-03-KAP1) financially supported by Scientific Research Project Office of Yildiz Technical University. It was conducted in two different video-supported software courses at undergraduate level. The effect of students’ access to video lectures via tablet or desktop computer is investigated in 15 weeks in total. The application was used in Programming Languages Course at undergraduate 2. Grade and in Multimedia Design Course at undergraduate 3. Grade. 15 videos for each course, 30 video lecture records in total, were published on http://www.ytuavitab.com website which was prepared and developed by researchers. The obtained findings demonstrated that the academic success of the students who accessed video lectures via Tablet PC were significantly higher than the other students for both Multimedia Design and Programming Languages Courses. The obtained finding can be explained as Tablet PC usage can be performed independently of the current environment.
