Abstract

This study is the first to examine the demographics of students who utilize instructor -created video supplements. Using a core-level finance course, we find that students who utilize these recordings tend to be students with lower ACT Math scores and lower ACT Composite scores. A student's ACT Math score
is a stronger predictor of recording utilization than the ACT Composite score. This suggests instructorcreated video supplements can be especially valuable in quantitative courses. We also show that students prefer to have such supplements used in quantitative courses, as evidenced by their responses on surveys given at the end of the semester.
