Will it impact attendance?
• There is a natural fear that recording lectures
will impact attendance
• Recording is intended to act as an enhancement
rather than a replacement
• Studies in US and Australia show that recording
lectures does not lead to a drop in attendance
• It presents a good opportunity to rethink the
content of your lectures and make sure that
attending adds real value
