Journal Title: Apertura - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 2

Abstract

Recent research has shown that using YouTube videos as teaching material improves student’s grades in online master programs. This article shows that the use of videos for undergraduate students in face-to-face programs improves by 3.54% the average grade of students treated. A procedure based on Randomized Controlled Experiments (RCT) was followed, where the treatment is controlled by different observable characteristics about the high school education of the students, their scores university admission tests, their access to internet connection and their study habits. These results confirm the importance of the use of new technologies in face-to-face learning at undergraduate programs.
