AB  -                       The Effect of On-Line Videos on Learner                     Outcomes in a Mechanics of Materials Course        The Mechanics of Materials course is one of the core engineering courses included in thecurriculum of mechanical, civil, mining, petroleum, marine, aeronautical, and several otherengineering disciplines. As a core course, the Mechanics of Materials course typically has largeenrollment. Initiatives aimed at improving the effectiveness of the engineering core courses canhave a major impact on engineering education by virtue of the large number of students affected.         Computers afford opportunities for creative instructional activities that are not possible inthe traditional lecture-and-textbook class format. The study described in this paper examines theeffectiveness of online video that has been used in various ways in a Mechanics of Materialscourse over the past three years. The content delivered via the Internet included familiar lectureformat videos, narrated screen-capture video, and videos of demonstrations and laboratoryactivities.        In this study, four differing approaches to present the Mechanics of Materials course toapproximately 950 students in 16 course sections over a three-year period were compared. Thefirst approach involved traditional, face-to-face lectures. The second approach combined face-to-face lectures with videos, recorded by the instructor outside of the classroom, covering thesame topics as the classroom lectures, and posted to a class web site. The third approachcompletely replaced the face-to-face lectures with videos. The instructor was available in hisoffice during class time to answer questions, but the classroom was used for examinations only.The fourth approach was an “inverted format” in which class attendance was optional. Theinstructor went to the classroom during class time to assist only those students who wanted extrahelp with their assignments. Most students utilized the online videos exclusively for coursecontent and assistance with problem-solving assignments.    Using common final exam scores as a quantitative measure of effectiveness, initial resultshave shown that students perform very well in the inverted course compared to otherinstructional formats. Additionally, there is some indication that high-ability studentsparticularly benefit from the inverted approach. Since these videos are available on the Internet,students have easy access to them. They can use them at times that suit their study habits, andthey can work with the media without external pressure until they feel comfortable with theirunderstanding of a topic.
