Student-generated content in college teaching: content quality, behavioural pattern and learning performance

This study investigates the quality of course content, behavioural patterns of students and learning performance in teaching of student-generated content SGC. A total of 49 third-year university students in educational technology participated in this study. By combining the methods of questionnaire, lag sequence analysis and interview, the study found that 1 SGC quality was acceptable, 2 SGC process has 14 significant behavioural sequences, and 3 students developed their knowledge and capability and were satisfied with SGC-based teaching approach. In addition, this study revealed problems and proposed suggestions for SGC-based course teaching. Finally, implications for course teaching in colleges, the limitations and future research plan were presented.
