Abstract:
In recent years, video tutorials have become an important tool to enhance active student learning. They are considered to be an effective and efficient instrument to enhance the progression of students. In 2016, the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Antwerp developed a strategy on technology-enhanced learning, with a strong focus on the creation and the use of both course specific and integrative video tutorials. To make the tutorials available to students throughout their entire study career, the faculty started in 2017 with the development of a faculty-wide learning channel, called Eclips. The platform offers students the opportunity to prepare for a lecture, revise learning content and fill knowledge gaps across the curriculum. In this paper, the structure, design, and content of the learning channel are elaborated. As adoption is crucial for any new technology, various statistics about the content and usage during the first two academic years are presented. Finally, as elearning technologies are often considered to be disruptive, some possible new value networks are explored, including other target groups and interactions with the broader societal environment.
