education

3. Challenges for teacher training
• Improve overall quality, commitment and effects with
optimal resource allocation
• Support personal learning paths and flexibility in
participation
• Develop pedagogical thinking and research
orientation
• Develop effective study strategies and metacognitive
skills
• Cultural understanding for the new digital media and
integration of ICT in education
12. Pedagogical challenges
• Lecture treats the members of audience equally by
default
• Providing just the right amount of challenge to right
audience
• Recordings are long, students prefer short videos
• Highlighting certain parts of the lecture from the
recording
• Lectures are social events
• Measurement and development
• ”Does it create better learning outcomes?”
16. Project approach to support the development
(”MOVIE”, 2011-2012)
• The development of pedagogical quality and
effectiveness of lecture capture
– How the students are using the recorded lectures to
support their studies?
– How can we measure of the impact in various
contexts?
– How the pedagogical quality of the lecture capture
can be improved?
17. Student profiles: data collection
• Questionnaire
?
– Demographic characteristics
– Educational background
– Study strategies and learning preferences
– Beliefs, wants and wishes
– Experiences and experienced added value
– Expected grades and final results
• Usage data
• Discussions, notes, bookmarks
• Supplemental Interviews
20. Encouraging preliminary results (N=113)
• 81% would like to increase the use of lecture capture in their studies
• 85% would recommend lecture capture for their peers
A. Possibility for independent studies
64%
57%
49% 50% B. Retention and repetition of classes
C. Illuminated unclear themes from lectures
D. Helped to prepare for final exams

22. Students’ perceptions of importance of the lecture
capture functions and features (avg.)
• Detailed screen/Powerpoint presentation shown on the
recording 4,48/5
• Audio from discussions between the lecturer and audience
4,11/5
• Lecturer’s hand written notes on whiteboard 4,05/5
• Video projection of lecturer 3,55/5
• Possibility to download lecturer’s slides and materials for the
offline use 3,86/5
• Possibility to ask questions from the lecturer or comment on
the lecture 2,98/5
23. Approximately 40% used social media
actively as informal peer support
channel to support their studies
N=113
24. Summary on preliminary results and challenges
• Students seem willing to increase the use of lecture
capture in their studies
• Use of LC is seen as democratic method for
participation
• It takes time to develop personal study strategies and
build trust for LC
• Impact on lecture attendance depends on the
previous experiences and study strategies
• Students form personal educational relationship with
the lecturer so lecturer must understand the format
25. Summary on preliminary results and challenges
• Lecture capture seems to be more efficient for lower
achieving students
– Supporting conceptual understanding for content,
metacognition and efficient study strategies
• Viewing volumes seem to have correlation to
experienced value and grades
• Challenge is to create meaningful learning contexts for
students
– Include lecture capture in learning design
– Summarize, contextualize and engage interaction
26. Pedagogic development challenge
• Students have no clear insight on how to use
recordings to support their learning processes by
default
– Need to clarify motives and study preferences
with lecture capture
• Teachers do not know how their recordings are used
or how to integrate lecture capture in learning
environment
– Need to develop and test and share coherent
pedagogical formats regarding lecture capture
28. Usability study (3-6/2012, N=16)
• 4 short lectures with different statistical assignments
• How does the interface and features support viewing?
• How students find the essential parts of the lecture?
• Effect of the teacher’s notes and personal bookmarks
• Familiarity of the content
• Pair work vs. solo performance
• Usage data, mouse tracking, eye tracking, video
• Supplemental interviews and survey
39. From monologue to engaging experience
• Acknowledge remote participants by looking at camera
• Highlight and signpost essential topics with verbal and
visual cues in live lectures
• Augment recorded lectures with timeline-based
comments or engage discussion with questions
• Encourage viewing on the lectures and introduce
potential effective viewing styles and strategies
• Create introductory materials for self-study
• Index the lectures for easier use and embed to
meaningful context
