  • Towards equal opportunities in computer engineering education : design, development and evaluation of video-based e-lectures
    Kosec, Primož, 1980- ; Debevc, Matjaž ; Holzinger, Andreas
    Innovative instructional technologies not only improve standard, classical learning methods for users but also provide learner centered educational tools that make it possible for people with special ... needs to benefit from the same courses as learners without disabilities. This paper describes some of the current systems that are available and details a closer study made of one of those: the Video-based e-Lectures for All Participants (VeLAP) system. The study was carried out during sample lectures in engineering using N = 75 students (16 women and 59 men) from technology oriented faculties. The results were evaluated according to their pedagogical effectiveness, including analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) comparison tests. Whilst the emphasis was placed on the applicability of the educational methods for assisting the needs of a special target group, people with audio and/or visual disabilities, the usability of the system for all users, including the teaching staff, was tested according to the standardized Software Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI). Our findings indicated areas of possible improvement and highlighted the web controls that required adjustments to make the system more usable.
