Relationship-of-Blog-and-Video-Usage-Patterns-to-Acdemic-Performance-in-Undergraduate-Mechanics

Sep 2, 2026

Upload by Eliana

Survey and performance results evaluate how blogging participation, lecture-video viewing, and video-solution usage relate to student attitudes and academic outcomes in undergraduate mechanics. Attitudes and perceptions include collaboration priority, trust in peer-authored blog content, and comfort with technology, with technology usefulness aligned to preferred learning methods. Behaviors are quantified through blog contributions, counts of lecture videos watched, and counts of video solutions watched. Academic performance is captured via homework, quiz, exam, and course averages, enabling analysis of which engagement patterns track with higher grades.
