Effect of student engagement on multimedia-assisted instruction

Abstract

This study applied multimedia in a general engineering and technology course in Taiwan and evaluated the effectiveness of multimedia-assisted instruction and learning. The course presented trends in technological development and the achievements of Taiwanese industries and research institutes from a historical perspective, and overviewed the technology industries and industrial transformation development in Taiwan. The course units adopted multimedia to support class teaching and student learning, and a survey was conducted to collect students’ attitudes and perception toward multimedia-assisted instruction and learning in the course. Research data were collected from 45 male and 9 female students with varied academic and cultural backgrounds. Results showed that multimedia videos help raise students’ awareness of learning issues, improve their understanding of content, and increase the depth of their learning. Almost all students liked the approach of using multimedia to assist teaching and learning, preferring this approach over traditional lecture-based instruction. They also would recommend this course to their peers. This study also found that the degree of students’ engagement caused variance in the students’ perception of multimedia helpfulness in assisting their learning. Finally, this study further proposes suggestions in both design and research on applications of multimedia-enhanced learning in engineering and technology education.

Design of sports multimedia teaching platform based on machine learning

“…According to the literature, the multimedia assisted instruction system has brought great interest to students and formed a trend of active learning. Encourage students to study and cultivate their ability to find, analyze and solve problems; The network-based multimedia assisted instruction system promotes the interaction between teachers and students, and is a good teaching platform [17]. The development of college sports multimedia teaching network can make better use of different sports teaching resources, make full use of and share limited sports equipment, sports venues and other educational resources, so as to improve the quality of sports classroom teaching and provide new learning opportunities for students.…”
