Zusammenfassung: | In the field of education, Information and Communication Technology can be implemented across educational settings. The literature notes e-learning, distance learning, distance education, Web instruction, and online learning are all terms used to describe non-traditional approaches to instruction. Consequently, there is a change in the roles technology and communication play across education, business, and personal settings. This paper provides a literature review of online technology and course implementation and impact primarily at the secondary level. The purpose is then described along with the study methodology and findings. This study examined secondary school students' preferences for the delivery of online instruction. Five different delivery methods incorporating the use of podcast and vodcast technology with variations including or not including the teacher's "talking head" in the delivery of online instruction were examined. Findings indicated students preferred vodcasts over podcasts. Findings also indicated students' most preferred delivery of online instruction was through the use of vodcasts with the teacher's "talking head" showing. |
