  • Video e-consultations: Enhancing student engagement and assessment

    Presented by Dr Raj Shekhawat, School of Population Health, University of Auckland
    Video e-consultations: Enhancing student engagement and assessment

    Background
    This presentation showcases an innovative approach to enhancing the student engagement and experience in completing assignments: namely, by providing advice in staged, filmed consultation sessions. The presentation builds on existing research about ‘instructor-made videos’ (‘IMVs’) in higher education teaching and learning. This research highlights the benefits of, and offers reflections on, this novel way of developing IMVs to enhance student learning.

    The initiative/practice
    Four IMVs were developed in a third-year capstone Health Systems course at the University of Auckland. The clips, available on YouTube from the start of semester, were able to be accessed by the students at any time.

    Method(s) of evaluative data collection and analysis
    This initiative was evaluated through qualitative research. Comments from 192 students from four end-of-semester course surveys (S1, S2 2016 and S1, S2 2017) were analysed to determine effectiveness.

    Evidence of effectiveness
    All of the IMV-related comments were positive about the impact of videos on student learning and assessment quality. This will be discussed during the presentation along with the clips that made them engaging and helpful.
