Because of this personal experience, I now do believe that the benefits of lecture capture can be seen in higher education today and I will continue for use lecture capture as long as I am teaching. One key disadvantage being in the sense of missing content if you have a genuine reason for not being at a lecture. While I have seen the advantages of not recording lectures (it will not encourage lecture capture to be a lecture replacement, for instance), I have also seen the disadvantages.
In my years of university education and employment, I have had the opportunity to see lectures both with and without the use of lecture capture. The paper suggests that effective note taking, and lecture attendance should be used in conjunction with lecture capture and therefore it is not seen as an alternative resource for attendance. The paper also provides academics with practical guidelines for the effective use of lecture recordings and this resource is now widely available. I do find this paper very interesting as it highlights the practical recommendations of lecture capture for both lectures and students. I’ve recently come across a paper from Dr Emily Nordmann and colleagues which has been accepted in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology. For a student who may be anxious in a large lecture situation, having the opportunity to watch the lecture in a more comfortable environment could make the difference between staying in a degree and leaving. In today’s higher education environments, we have an increasing number of students who find it difficult to attend large lectures and this is primarily one reason why I would always opt to record my lectures.
As with any lecture class, attendance will decline over time as students progress with the semester, but this is normally not due to the use of lecture recordings.
When I first started recording lectures, I was concerned that attendance would decline, however, the research states that this is not the case. I am therefore quite happy to record my lectures if the students are going to find this beneficial. Now as an academic, I’m not really sure if I’m supposed to have a view on this (the use of Lecture Capture) but in all honesty, I do think that the benefits of recording lectures can outweigh the criticisms. When I teach smaller classes, I have found this method to be less effective, therefore I try to use more discussion topics and practical activities instead as I know that sometimes technology is not the answer.Īs I have progressed through multiple higher education teaching roles within the UK, I have noticed that some universities use technology in the way of recording lectures, and some do not. Vevox allows the teacher to present multiple choice questions and word-cloud activities to the students and this then gives the students the opportunity to anonymously respond to such activities. My most recent module evaluations do suggest that students appreciate the use of Vevox and that students do find that this helps with revision (of course this is just an evaluation of my most recently classes and not every method I have ever used).
Are you allowed to record lectures in college software#
In my own lectures, I tend to use a piece of online software called Vevox to challenge the students during lectures and to enable the students to receive feedback as they are progressing through the lecture content.
