Text-Based Video: The Effectiveness of Learning Math in Higher Education Through Videos and Texts

Abstract

The Text-Based Video (TBV) model is a particular case of the more general Video-Based Learning (VBL) model in which an instructor’s curriculum is fully covered by high-quality videos and texts. The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of the TBV model by examining and comparing its two main components: Videos and texts. 
 
 The model is based on the creation of high-quality texts which form the basis for high-quality video clips. It is designed to improve learning in quantitative courses in higher education. 
 
 The research was based on a sample of students  who enrolled in the course Mathematics for Business Administration at the Neri Bloomfield School of Design and Education, Haifa, Israel that was based on the TBV model. The course was given during the five academic years 2016-2021 using different teaching formats: face-to-face learning, distance learning and blended learning. Learners were asked to answer an online questionnaire that assessed the characteristics and advantages/disadvantages of TBV. 
 
 The findings show that although students preferred watching videos based on texts over reading those texts alone, students opined that the combination of video and text was by far the most effective instructional method. All results were identical regardless of whether face-to-face, distance or blended learning was used.

Does the Choice of Teaching Approach and ICT affect Teaching Quality During the Global COVID-19 Pandemic? A Case Study from Suranaree University of Technology

“…Although, there were no significant differences between the learning management system and their effects on Teaching effectiveness or Class grade point average. In contrast, Ghilay (2019) indicated that there are statistically significant differences of LMS activity between " Low activity level" ( e. g. ; uploading files, sending announcements) and "High activity level" (Additional of Low activity level e. g. ; Restriction of resource accessing, monitoring of learners' activity, etc. ) .…”

Factors affecting students’ concept retention in learning science online using instructional videos

“…IVs contribute to the students' learning progress in different subjects, especially in science. Studies from other researchers prove that videos are combined visual and verbal compositions that give students a complete package of learning experiences reflecting their [33], [34]. Therefore, all of the participants agreed that using IVs materials positively affects their learning experiences in the science subject.…”

Empowering Slow Learners: Gamification’s Impact on Students’ Engagement and Academic Performance in an LMS for Undergraduate Students

“…As education continues to evolve in the digital age, the integration of LMS platforms has become instrumental in transforming traditional learning environments into dynamic online spaces. LMS platforms offer educators and students a versatile ecosystem for content delivery, collaboration, and assessment [1,5,31]. These platforms have been lauded for their effectiveness in promoting self-directed learning and expanding access to educational resources [3].…”

“…Researchers have increasingly explored the integration of gamification elements within LMSs to enhance the learning experience [1,2]. Gamification, the incorporation of game-like mechanics and design into non-game contexts, has demonstrated its potential to motivate learners and encourage active participation [31]. Studies have shown that gamification elements, such as points, badges, and leaderboards, effectively increase student engagement and participation [17,32].…”
