Abstract: This study examines the background of introductory programming concepts and the use of video as an instructional tool. Thirty-five students in an introductory C# class were administered a survey to re-port data on demographics, usage on video, and opinions about the video. Students were in online and face to face sections of the class. Data were analyzed to determine how students used the videos and to determine if there were differences between the two groups. Multiple aspects analyzed show no difference in use of the online video between face to face and online students.
