In addition to the use of traditional university lectures, studying medicine
nowadays is facilitated by using ‚e-learning‘ technologies. Among these,
screencasts (records of lecturing slides) represent a useful tool possibly
influencing learning progress. In order to characterize this influence, a whole
lecture course in medical biochemistry was recorded as screencasts for two
years (WS 08/09 und WS 09/10) and stored in an online learning platform.
Students‘ individual use of each screencast generates tracking-data as
accesscounts and using-time. These data were linked to students test results.
The findings of this work indicate, using screencast seems to have positive
influence on learning progress in terms of better test results. This effect is most
likely to be seen when using screencasts featuring exam relevant contents and
rises, the longer those screencasts are used.
The degree of this influence and its details need to be subject of further
research.
