One of the factors that was considered in the preliminary survey was whether or not
students were familiar with watching videos as a part of instruction. A 3 (method of instruction)
x 2 (past video requirement) multivariate ANOVA test was conducted on the three Likert scale
questions to determine if there are any significant interactions between the method of instruction
and previous experience with watching videos for a course. The results showed that regardless of
whether or not the student has been required to watch videos for a course, participants assigned
to the Video+Text liked this method of instruction (see Figure 8). The results also showed a

significant cross-over interaction between instructional method and prior experience on liking
the method of instruction, F(1, 29) = 4.32, p < .05. The participants who were required to watch
videos for a course in the past liked the method of instruction when they were assigned the video
only but did not like the method of instruction when they were assigned text only (see Figure 8).
Also, the participants who were not required to watch videos for a course did not like the method
of instruction when they were assigned the video only but did like the method of instruction
when they were assigned the text.
