Using a perceptual measure to evaluate the use of video objects in English language learning

PDF

Abstract

Economies in the creation and delivery of digital objects, the ability of tutors to easily re- purpose and re-present media-rich content and the increasing ease of access to previously controlled network storage areas by students are but a few of the perceived drivers behind initiatives to re-use digitally created content. However, while it maybe economically beneficial and technically feasible to continuously make available to students’ a range of re- usable digital objects a number of issues should be explored before it is recommended tutors use the digital materials available. This poster outlines the preliminary development of an evaluation tool to investigate students’ perceptions of re-usable video objects in an English language course in Japan.
