Abstract

Online learning environments have become an essential part of higher education and video content plays a crucial role in enhancing the learning experience of students. The effectiveness of using videos as a teaching tool in higher education is still not certain in the Maldives, specifically at higher education. Without additional research, the effectiveness and impact of educational video, will never be documented with proper evidence. This is an action research that involves 3 stages, that assesses the impact of using effective educational videos on the students’ participation. Total 22 students from different faculties, centres and schools at The Maldives National University were participated. A questionnaire with open questions were used to collect the participants’ opinions. Additional data was gathered from observations and interviews. The findings have shown that using educational videos has a positive impact on students’ participation in the classroom. It also revealed that the students’ engagement increases when they are given opportunities to select or create videos for themselves. It also discloses that the students’ active engagement increases by asking questions, giving opinions, and let them discuss about topics delivered through videos in the lectures. The findings of this research provide substantial recommendations for the teaching colleagues/staff regarding the effective educational videos and it’s use as a teaching and learning pedagogy to increase and maximise student participation.
