A lecturer interviewed in 2014 said that while she is skilled as a nurse, she lacks confidence in video editing and does not have time to learn or create lecture capture materials. Research also shows that students believe lecture capture helps reduce anxiety and improves learning by allowing them to re-watch lectures. A large survey found 82% of undergraduates at the University of Wisconsin strongly preferred accessing recorded lectures online over not having them. While lecture capture provides benefits like assessing student comprehension, it also requires dedicated staff to edit materials and keep them updated when lectures change.

3. Ineffective Lecture Capture…
“I was a nurse, and now a lecturer, and my
skills are all tied to nursing. I can use a
computer to do what I need to do…but I
don’t feel confident enough to look at video
editing and I…don’t have the time to learn or
make these things.”
Interview with lecturer, 2014

4. Ineffective Lecture Capture…
“Research has shown that students
tend to believe that lecture capture
helps their performance by alleviating
academic anxiety and improving the
quality of their learning experiences.”
(Bongey et al., 2006; Deal, 2007;
Traphagan, 2005).
“Students highly value lecture
capture. On a large-scale survey
carried out at the University of
Wisconsin—Madison, some 82% of
undergraduate students indicated
their strong preference for the
provision of recorded lectures over
the Internet.”
(Veeramani & Bradley, 2008)

6. Benefits…and Drawbacks
Benefits
• Assesses students’ comprehension of the film clip they have watched
• Breaks up what could be a long and tedious process
• Records student interactions
Drawbacks
• Takes time to edit films and develop interactive activities…need a dedicated Learning
Technologist to do this?
• If the lecture is updated, all accompanying materials may need to be updated as well
