Abstract

A within-group study was conducted that investigated what occurred when 168 students in a large lecture-based science course were provided a lecture viewing choice (video or f2f) at the mid-point in a semester. Specifically, this study investigated the relationship between student lecture viewing choice and overall lecture viewing, achievement, and course engagement. Results indicated that providing students with the option to replace f2f lectures with video lectures neither improved nor degraded lecture viewing, engagement, or achievement. Of particular note, however, was the finding that students self-selecting higher uses of the video lecture option were lower performing and less engaged both before and after the video option was provided.
