Differences in students' perceptions on pre-lecture videos between face-to-face and blended courses

What is it about?

Students in the blended courses had a greater belief that prelecture videos could replace face-to-face (F2F) classes than did students in the F2F classes. Students in the blended courses showed a greater understanding of the flipped lecture format and performed better than students in the F2F classes. Students in the blended courses also tended to rate the instructor’s teaching effectiveness lower than students in the F2F classes.

Why is it important?

Students' learning effectiveness in blended courses is different from students' learning effectiveness in F2F courses. The role of instructors in students’ learning experience for blended class has shifted away from an instructor-centered learning modality.
