Abstract
This quantitative study investigated factors that contribute to the effectiveness of a synchronous videoconferencing class. The researcher found (1) assessing both students’ satisfaction and learning outcomes is an effective method to evaluate a synchronous videoconferencing course, and (2) students’ previous distance learning experience and/or synchronous videoconferencing class experience, as well as their technical background and subject-related background do not impact the success or failure of a course delivered in this format. Instead, an instructor or course designer should focus more on issues such as tech support, TA’s assistance at a remote site, leaners’ familiarity to the system, course materials, class pace, teaching style, motivation, interaction, and feedback.
