Student Appraisal of the Use of Clickers and Video Tutorials in Higher Education

The implementation of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Spanish universities has been accompanied by a review of the teaching methodologies used. These methodologies incorporating, in many cases, new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The ICT of Audience Response Systems (ARS), Clickers, and videos (mUVies) were used in a quantitative subject of a degree offered by the Universitat de Valencia (UV), in an attempt to mitigate the low teaching load of the same and provide students with support material inside and outside the classroom. The work presented examines the students' perception of the use of these ICTs in their learning process and also the volume of work involved in its implementation. Using descriptive and inferential analyses of the opinions obtained in the ICT surveys and the results of the continuous assessment and the final exam, we conclude that the students valued the use of both ICTs very positively with average score higher than 8 (out of 10), rating better the mUVies than Clickers. As for the volume of work that the implementation of ICTs, this is estimated at about 7.5 hours for students and about 132.5 hours for teachers.
