6. A very abridged version of
research so far…
In recent times we had a report on Lecture Capture (LSE, 2013) and a
guide Young. C. and Moes, S. (2013) on more pedagogic use
There has been some concern about Copyright and IPR that Rios-
Amaya, J., Secker, J. and Morrison, C. (2016) report
The use of lecture capture recordings varies between students but
some of them use it more than stated in the literature (Elliott and Neal,
2016)
There has been research by Witton, G. (2016) ‘The value of capture’
advocating a more strategic capturing of some content, not all.

brink of being transformed
through learning
technologies; however, it
has been on that brink for
some decades now.”

Same hierarchy as today's lectures
It's probably freezing cold!!
Lecturn
Student engagement doesn't seem to have changed
much!
Lines of seats, gender
colourful clothes,verticality
Bored students
same set up as now

11. A very challenging area of educational
technology, but why?...
The students ask for it, often when the lecturer doesn’t want to use it
and makes this a political issue
Some universities go for opt-out policies to capture everything
Structures and politics in education and technology adoption
(Selwyn & Facer, 2014) are difficult to navigate – Lecture Capture is a
disruptive technology, but only if you let it.
The academic feels threatened, this needs lots of work from
management (depending on institution)

12. “…this academic engagement is an
important step in innovation in
learning design and with so many
of our participants taking this step
quite naturally, we believe lecture
capture has a genuine capacity for
transformation at the individual and
institutional level” (Moes & Young,
2013, p.8).

13. Benefits in
Lecture Capture
@santanuvasant CC Public Domain

14. Some very big benefits in Lecture
Capture if used well...
Supplementary use of the recordings at their own pace
(Soong et al, 2006 and Cooke et al, 2012)
Good for students at revision time (Copley, 2007)
Aids notetaking (Leadbeater et al, 2013)
Improves attainment in some cases (Williams et al, 2016)

Students have always slept through lectures
People asleep, talking at the back
Some 'learners'don't look like they are learning,Engagement
It will probably be freezing cold!!!! Two people look like they are having a nice chinwag!!,More
attentive because they know that they are having their photo taken.
Students don't seem to be paying attention,Students clearly posed!!
Student engagement doesn't seem to have changed much!,Really engaged students
Gender,The lines of seats,People not paying attention
Students seem receptive but are they engaged,Interested students
Students looking at lecturer
They are having separate conversations
The Medieval and modern ones look to have a similar format - someone standing at the front and
others listening (or not),quite similar format to medieval one but bit more PC
Students looked disengaged,Similar to modern lectures,Student
All men,More women
A bit posed?
Two people talking at the back,All looking at the same place so shared experience.
Laughing students,Lecturer still anchored to front
students are looking up

17. “… a recording of a bad lecture
can actually improve that
lecture….. What a wonderful
observation. The fact that you
can skip the bad bits, replay
and watch it several times
actually improve the
experience.”
Donald Clark, 2011
