Effect Analysis of Students’ Learning Styles on Learning Experience with Lecture Videos Played at Different Playback Speeds

Abstract

The goal of this study was to clarify effects of students’ learning styles on their learning experience with lecture videos played at different playback speeds. We focused on the interactions between students’ learning styles and video playback speed. In our experiment, participants’ learning styles were categorized by Felder’s Index of Learning Styles and 35 verbal students and 40 visual students learned about the network infrastructure with lecture videos played at original speed, 1.5× speed, and 2.0× speed. The comprehension test results indicated that the video playback speeds and the students’ learning styles did not influence the comprehension test scores. The subject evaluation results indicated that there were significant interactions for their learning experience. Consequently, the possibility that students’ learning experience could differ to their learning styles when they learn with hi-speed lecture videos was discussed.
