This document discusses lecture capture technology and student use of lecture recordings at UCL. It provides the following information:
- UCL uses the Echo360 system to record lectures from 39 centrally bookable spaces and make them available online. Over 8,000 hours of content has been recorded.
- An estimated 250,000 views of content were made last year, with 20-30,000 hits on Moodle per day.
- Research suggests students use lecture recordings for various purposes like reviewing material they missed, listening again for better understanding as an international student, and choosing specific sections to review rather than passively rewatching full lectures.
- Lecture capture allows students more control over their learning but

2. What is UCL
Lecturecast?
• Automated system (Echo360) for recording lectures
and making them available via Moodle.
• Captures everything sent to the projector (e.g PP slides,
visualiser) + audio via a lapel mic + video of the
presentation area via a small fixed position camera.
• EchoCapture Personal – capture everything that is
happening on your own PC screen + audio commentary
(+ webcam 'talking head„) uploaded to Lecturecast.
3. • 39 of UCL's centrally bookable teaching spaces
• 20 in departmental areas
• 8-10,000 hours of recorded material on the
system.
4. 1. perpetuates an outdated and discredited passive
learning experience (the classroom lecture).
Why?
2. does not engage the student.
3. traditional lectures aren’t designed for online delivery.
4. it diverts resources
5. • 250,000 views of content last year
• 20-30,000 „hits‟ on Moodle per day
6. "Once viewed with caution as a potentially intrusive
intervention that might cramp teachers‟ style,
lecture capture is now proving its worth for
teachers and learners alike in many contexts."

The uninspired label
“lecture capture,” fails

learning (2011-2013)
• how lectures are currently
being captured and used
• new learning designs for
flexible and off-campus
delivery
• technical, pedagogical
and legal issues
• case studies and
scenarios
• practical guidelines to help

What is the purpose of video in
lecture capture?
• visual demonstration, dramatisation, presenting visual
evidence and making and emotional appeal (Hempe 1999)
• add authenticity and reality to the learning context....brings
the course alive (Thornhill et al 2002)
• "a great many people find they retain information better if
they are able to visualise a lecturer saying it” (UCL student)
• help orientate esp. if students unfamiliar with material or
lecturer (Kukkonen 2012)
11. Interactivity in LC
• “Web-casting lectures provides students
who failed to get out of bed with another
chance” UCL professor
• Worries about attendance
12. Interactivity in LC
• "Because I am an international student and
sometimes I could not hear and understand clearly.
Also since the lectures given by my lecturer are
fantastic! It will be great if we can listen to the lectures
again for better understanding of the topics!“ UCL
Student
• Also US research (Stewart, 2012) – big LC users are
non-native speakers of English and the “very
motivated”
13. Attendance
• UCL view "the experience in the pilot phase of project is
that LC has little or no effect on student attendance"
• Russell and Mattick (2005) drop off of attendance "follows
the same pattern with or without streaming".
• von Konsky et al (2009) drop off but "anecdotally, this
attendance pattern is consistent with that experienced in
previous semesters“ so LC "did not have a significant
impact on lecture attendance".
• UCL advises "if a lecture is little more than the repeating of
notes from a PowerPoint presentation it is probable that
some students will choose to spend their time more
efficiently i.e. viewing the material on-line”
14. Interactivity literature
• “Video and live performances differ, like spoken and
written language” – students get this!
• Fardon (2003): better for structured or narrative-driven
styles, poorer for „dramatic‟ styles or styles with lots of
audience interaction

15. Interactivity
• Does LC reinforce a transmission model of learning
when we want more constructivist models - active,
process oriented, learner centric? (Jouvelakis 2009)
• Davis (2009) found the students are "actively choosing
specific sections of content to review rather than
passively revisiting entire lectures”.
• “...an active learning activity [that] provides them with
additional control and interaction with the material“ –
this is „engaged‟ learning – what we want

17. “using lecture
Integration capture resources to
actively engage
Ideas learners”
• Prepare or motivate
• Elaborate on and further explain
• Recall and integrate
• Lead-in to an assignment
• Learning guidance and strategies
• Content to encourage analysis
