Tecnologias de streaming em contextos de aprendizagem

The increasing use of streaming technologies for learning purposes and the potential impact it seems to have in the learning process’s flexibility, motivated the study of how comfortable students feel with Synchronized Streaming Media and which learning objectives of the cognitive domain can be directly addressed by this technology. This paper presents that study, developed at the School of Engineering in the University of Minho, Portugal, with undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. The experiences consisted on total replacement of a lecture about a given subject, traditionally presented at a classroom using an expository instructional approach, by Synchronized Streaming Media content, followed by evaluation questionnaires. The comparison of the evaluation results obtained from this experience, with the ones obtained in previous years, allowed us to conclude that there was no significant difference between the students using both methods. It was also concluded that students are very enthusiast with the content’s format and are looking forward for the methodology to be widen to other lectures. The similarity of correct responses to the questions related with different learning objectives, doesn’t allowed to discern the cognitive domain’s levels not reached by this technology, but the majority of the students express the need to integrate a discussion forum as a tool to consolidate knowledge.
