Abstract

Online courses are fast becoming an accepted means of instruction in several different areas. However, most online instruction involves text-based communication. This paper describes the use of video-based communication in teaching two graduate level computer education courses. The authors report on a research project that they conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using video-based conferences in these courses. Preliminary results are described along with recommendations on how web conferences can be used to improve online instruction.
