Journal Article
The effectiveness of audio-visual media and social media platforms as components of blended learning
2020
Overview
South Africa currently has 90 million cellphone connections and 4G bandwidth is accessible to 75% of the population. Audio-visual media, such as videos, can be used to enhance teaching as the use of multimedia is a key component of blended learning. In total, 92 fourth-year university education students were surveyed to determine their response to video-based assessments. Of the students surveyed, 92% believed that videos assisted their understanding of the course content, 78.5% believed that video-based assessments were less difficult than traditional assessments and 89% intend using audio-visual media in their own classrooms. Significantly, 88.7% believe that such media should be used at least once a week. In addition, once they graduate, 63% of participants intend using social media platforms to communicate with learners. The study suggests that a greater emphasis needs to be placed on blended learning, both in schools and tertiary institutions in South Africa.
