Purpose of the research study
The research study aims to increase understanding of learning using video lectures. To understand for whom video lectures are most beneficial and what traits trigger viewing behavior we need to collect and combine data. Part of the data will be collected using an automated survey assessing both students’ individual learning styles as well as their motivation to study the content. In addition to that and for the sake of conducting a scientific inquiry this data needs to be combined with Aalto entry level test scores and grade performance during Aalto studies to proxy general and subject specific capability. Last, data from Panopto, the platform used to show videos, including views and time spend watching has to combined with the above data. The results of the research study can and will be used to improve methods of teaching, exercises and studying.
3. How data is collected ?
Survey data is collected using MyCourses surveys. The student will need to identify as part of the survey to enable linking of all data elements. Once all data elements have been collected and combined the dataset will be anonymized. The dataset will not be made available to anyone else but the two researchers, Katariina Kemppainen and Max Finne. Publication will contain statistical parameters (e.g., averages, standard deviations, coefficients, regressions, descriptive statistics, etc.) computed over the whole population of students having answered the survey. Also anonymously gathered answers to course feedback questions are included in the research data. These answers can be used as citations in research publications, if they serve the purposes of the research study. Citations do not include any identifiers.
4. Sources and categories of research data
Source of data includes grades from the e-learning platform MyCourses, statistics from the video viewing platform Panopto, survey feedback, course grades, Aalto entry level scores, matriculation scores and course performance of Aalto studies.
The survey data will include answers regarding individual learning styles and their motivation for studying the content.
Statistics from the video viewing platform Panopto include number of views, view times, view lengths.
Grades from the course include learning diaries, participation, case performance, and the final exam score.
Every individual needs to be identifiable until data is combined, only then the data will be anonymized.
5. How data is used
Data is used to produce statistical data and data visualization. Data is used to formulate research questions and hypothesis, such as prediction of student viewing behavior and learning based their video statistics.
Data is stored during research in encrypted Aalto network drives and used in Aalto University laptops, that have automatic data encryption with Bitlocker. The processing will be done using the anonymized complete database.
6. Legal basis
We do not expect the processing to affect data subjects in any way. The data is used to develop the courses at Aalto in particular and the quality of teaching business topics in general.
The public interest tasks of universities are defined in the Universities Act (558/2009). Section 2 § of the Universities Act defines academic research and the providing of research-based education as missions of university. University must achieve social impact with university research findings. Universities shall arrange their activities so as to ensure a high international standard of education.
The research study aims to find best possible research based education methods by researching the impact on and of video lectures. The findings will have societal impact, as they will be implemented in Aalto University education and also, as findings are published in research publications, widely in Finnish and international education. The legal basis for processing personal data is the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, namely scientific research.
As this research study is not intended to be a health study, students are not asked about health and we ask students not to include health data in the survey answers, if possible. However if the student wishes to include health data, then the legal basis for processing is the explicit consent of student for the use such data.
