FE25: Encouraging A level Accounting students' participation in sessions through use of the video playback facility on Interactive Whiteboards
Author: Angela Bhandari Sandwell College
Date: 2005

Summary

Angela Bhandari used a facility to playback demonstrations on an Interactive Whiteboard to support teaching of accounting. She found that supporting students in creating short (1 minute) video clips considerably improved student retention of spreadsheet layouts. This was due to a variety of factors including:

• Improved student motivation
• Student ownership of the clips
• Re-usability of the clips
• The fact clips can be talked through without the need for writing everything down at the same time

Angela emphasises the fact that the improvements to the learning experience were led by the students, which encouraged ownership.
