lecture capture the debate

Is lecture capture the future for our

teaching

?

What is lecture capture?

It is simply the process of recording a lecture or workshop and making it available at a later stage to your students. This could be a video or

audio recording.

Why do we seem to be bothered about

it now?Technology has progressed to a level that now makes it possible for us all to adopt it in our everyday teaching.

It has caused concern in the past that lecture capture will replace

conventional teaching. However, this not the intended purpose of my

research but rather to explore the possibility of using it as a

supplementary teaching resource to enhance the learning of our students.

So the big question is:

why would we want to have lessons recorded?

Or should the question be why wouldn't we?

Against

Is a new model really needed?

Surely attendance will suffer?

Would staffing levels change?

Technology can be unreliable and difficult to use

For

Students could revisit a class

Students can learn in the best way that suits them

Learning would be enhanced

Great resource for reflecting on your own teaching

The students’ point of view

Lecture capture should be made available to our students as a

supplementary teaching resource.
