lecture capture technology Neil Morris, Bronwen Swinnerton and Taryn Coop have recently published a major new study on the impacts of lecture capture on staff and students in the journal Computers and Education - the paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2019.103604. Highlights from the study:

 

  • Students use lecture recordings during term time for learning, and for assessment preparation and examination revision
  • Students request more lecture recordings and quicker access to recordings
  • Students attendance when lectures are recorded is significantly lower
  • Staff have mixed views on the effectiveness of lecture recordings to support learning
  • Staff perceptions of the value of lecture recordings change over time
