| Summary: | Leveraging on information and communication technology (ICT) has enabled
education providers to come up with creative ways of engaging with learners. As a
result, learners are constantly being exposed to new ways of learning and collaborating
with their peers. Also, accessibility to affordable smart devices with fast connections
has only intensified the integration of technology into the education sphere. Open
University Malaysia (OUM) has long recognised this trend and has been actively
developing various tools to deliver its learning materials through the online model. One
such tool is its online video lectures. This paper describes an exploratory study of OUM
learners’ perception of video lectures for certain courses in their studies. The study is
based on a survey questionnaire to determine learners’ expectations and preferences
for the video lectures used in OUM and also on what other additional features, if any,
should be included. The motivation of this research is to help the institution make an
informed decision on the future development of video lectures based on the feedback
of learners so that they are aligned with the expectations of OUM learners. (Abstract by authors)
