Abstract

Educational webcasts are nowadays widely used from many universities throughout the world. However, the educational effectiveness of webcasts when using them as an autonomous method is yet to be explored. In this paper, several issues concerning webcasts' educational effectiveness is explored. An educational webcast was developed according to specific rules and then a between group evaluation experiment took place. The experiment was amongst traditional learning and autonomous webcast. The results of the evaluation showed that educational webcast can be very effective under certain conditions and by analyzing the results of the experiment several interesting results were drawn.
