Using web conference system during the lessons in higher education

摘要

The goal of this research was an analysis to see the using of the web conference system as a presentation tool is productive or not. The experience shows the majority of the students do not visit the presentations at the universities, just download the learning material and try to take a successful exam, but they do not have too much chance to pass it. First of all I wanted to see how many students take part in the virtual and traditional presentations respectively and I observed that the virtual way was preferred (∼80% of students) to the classical way (∼30–40%). The students in the first group were more motivated; they took this opportunity rather than the conventional educational method. My starting hypothesis was that the group where I used the web conference system as a presentation tool would achieve better results in the papers. After the evaluation of the paper results the correctness of the original presumption seemed to be proved. Significance level was 5% through the analysis. It was found significant divergence in the knowledge of the students taking part in the virtual presentations and that of the students using the traditional way. The students could get half mark better paper results when they followed the virtual lesson. Consequently, the use of the web conference system as a presentation tool is productive; the students follow the presentations with more motivation to use this new tool in their studies and get better results when writing papers.
