Abstract

We surveyed student attitudes towards giving online screencast presentations versus traditional in-class presentations for their final projects in a Psychology Research Methods course. Students showed significant preference for online over in-class presentations indicating perceived improvements in anxiety, presentation quality, ability to display their knowledge, and understanding of the material.
