Abstract

The purpose of this research was to review how the Boyer Model of teaching impacts video instruction and course satisfaction in the online learning format. Instructional videos were implemented in the first two courses of an online graduate public health program. Four courses received the intervention, and three courses served as the control. Results from the student’s end of course surveys showed no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups. However, the students did mention positive comments about the videos in the feedback section of their end of course surveys. Future research should investigate confounding variables such as GPA, work commitments, and family life and how they may impact student learning through enhancing the online course with video instruction.
