- 3. Introduction Oral communication skills are always cited among the most important proficiencies for college graduates.

This article offers a technological answer to the problem of assessing oral performance in distance education.
- 4. What’s YouTube? YouTube is a video-sharing website, created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005, on which users can upload, view and share videos. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users can upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos considered to contain offensive content are available only to registered users at least 18 years old.
- 5. Using YouTube (1) Using YouTube for performance-communication courses is a simple three-step process: (1) create video, (2) upload video, and (3) discuss video. Camcorders with FireWire connectors are available in the $300 range (webcams are even less), so the expense can be less than that for two textbooks.
- 6. Using YouTube (2) Not all students will need to purchase their own equipment; they only need access to it, and several family members may already have what they need. The instructor and classmates can also post constructive criticism via WebCT, etc. Threaded discussions and instructor emails provide the written feedback that leads to superior learning on each assignment.
- 7. Tips from the Professional (1) The following is an excerpt from Curdie’s grading rubric for discussions. To earn full points: • Initial postings are completed early in the week • Follow-up posts (generally more than the minimum of one per discussion) are timely • Content is complete, on point, and thoughtful, and offers new ideas
- 8. Tips from the Professional (2) • Supporting detail is abundant and appropriate • Content often encourages further discussion on the topic or follows up on others’ thoughts • Postings are characterized by originality, engagement, and relevance to the topic • Postings demonstrate an understanding of the material assigned and familiarity with the ideas of the student’s partner and group members.
- 9. Conclusion Some instructors may not immediately adopt video technology for presentations. Although cost and privacy are not significant barriers, some may worry that site providers would seek royalties. YouTube account holders can even promote their businesses and artistic enterprises. Schools would not generate income, thus there would be no commercial use.
- 10. Conclusion YouTube has also been associated with copyright lawsuit concerns (Trier, 2007), and the channel has set aside millions of dollars to settle potential claims. The number of applications of video-sharing websites for instructional purposes is myriad.
