Conventional methods of teaching structural engineering topics focus on face-to-face delivery of course materials. This study shows that using video-based e-learning in delivering an undergraduate Structural Steel Design course satisfactorily achieved most of the course learning outcomes. Video-based e-learning with animations and simulations gives students a profound understanding of the course intricate design materials. To gauge the effectiveness of video-based e-learning of the course, an online evaluation was conducted by sixty-eight undergraduate students at the United Arab Emirates University using Blackboard. The evaluation consisted of an online survey that was accessible by students who took the structural steel design course in the academic year 2019 using instructional videos provided to them as Quick Response (QR)-codes. The structural steel design course has six learning outcomes (CLOs), and the performance of students in the six CLOs was compared with that of students who took the same course in the academic year 2018 using the traditional face-to-face lecturing method. The survey data was statistically analyzed, and the results revealed that students’ performance improved, and most of the CLOs were attained. Video-based e-learning with animations resulted in better learning outcomes compared to face-to-face lecturing. Accessing the course instruction videos anytime and anywhere is one of the remarkable benefits to the students studying through the e-learning approach.

在结构钢设计课程中使用混合电子学习中的视频

传统的结构工程主题教学方法侧重于课程材料的面对面交付。本研究表明，使用基于视频的电子学习来提供本科结构钢设计课程令人满意地实现了大部分课程学习成果。带有动画和模拟的基于视频的电子学习让学生对课程复杂的设计材料有深刻的理解。为评估课程基于视频的电子学习的有效性，阿拉伯联合酋长国大学的 68 名本科生使用 Blackboard 进行了在线评估。评估包括一项在线调查，在 2019 学年参加钢结构设计课程的学生可以使用作为快速响应 (QR) 代码提供给他们的教学视频进行访问。钢结构设计课程有六个学习成果（CLO），通过传统的面对面授课方式，将六个CLO中学生的表现与2018学年参加同一课程的学生进行了比较。对调查数据进行统计分析，结果显示学生的表现有所提高，大部分达到了CLO。与面对面授课相比，基于视频的电子学习与动画相比，学习效果更好。随时随地访问课程教学视频是通过电子学习方法学习的学生的显着好处之一。并通过传统的面对面授课方式，将六所CLO学生的表现与2018学年选修相同课程的学生进行了比较。对调查数据进行统计分析，结果显示学生的表现有所提高，大部分达到了CLO。与面对面授课相比，基于视频的电子学习与动画相比，学习效果更好。随时随地访问课程教学视频是通过电子学习方法学习的学生的显着好处之一。并采用传统的面对面授课方式，将六所CLO学生的表现与2018学年选修同一门课程的学生进行了比较。对调查数据进行统计分析，结果显示学生的表现有所提高，大部分达到了CLO。与面对面授课相比，基于视频的电子学习与动画相比，学习效果更好。随时随地访问课程教学视频是通过电子学习方法学习的学生的显着好处之一。与面对面授课相比，基于视频的电子学习与动画相比，学习效果更好。随时随地访问课程教学视频是通过电子学习方法学习的学生的显着好处之一。与面对面授课相比，基于视频的电子学习与动画相比，学习效果更好。随时随地访问课程教学视频是通过电子学习方法学习的学生的显着好处之一。
