Student feedback from class evaluations has been positive:

• “The SPSS session was very useful, particularly for gaining confidence on how to use SPSS more independently.”
• “Allan's SPSS session was useful in further practice with software, particularly with the practical report for the class requiring use of SPSS.”
• “Allan McGroarty's session was very useful and I feel that more of these types of exercises should be incorporated into the class.”

Challenges

The only challenge in implementing this initiative was that some additional time was required to develop the video and audio content, compared with the development of more traditional teaching materials. Time was also required in learning to use the screen capture software. However, this can of course be balanced against the time saved once the resource is made available to students.

This initiative could be used in similar contexts where students are required to develop skills in the use of software. Given the initial development effort required, it is best suited to instances where no significant changes are anticipated in teaching content over a period of time.
