Abstract

This paper reports the use of worked example videos, with students as partners, using Echo360 and containing embedded polls in a postgraduate accounting subject which offered limited opportunity for in-class practical activities. A total of twelve worked example videos were produced and deployed to assist students with their learning. Each video included embedded polls which aimed to further engage students and reinforce key concepts. Results were compared for students who engaged with the videos and polls with those who had not. Findings revealed that students who viewed the videos and participated in the polls demonstrated significant improvement in the final exam and overall marks. This study is one of the first to examine the use and benefits of using dialogue videos with embedded polls as a means of increasing learning, engagement, and overall student results.
