Abstract

In this paper we study key differences between video-based and text-based instructions by developing and testing an interactive website for delivering lab material in our Management Information Systems course. In a face-to-face lab setting, we tracked the performance and surveyed the impressions of 80 students where approximately half received video instructions while the other half received text instructions. The results indicate no statistically significant difference in students' correctness in answering lab questions, but slight differences in completion time and impression. We discuss our results and suggest ways to use video instruction effectively based on our results and observations.
