Enterprise Lecture Capture Technologies and Value to Student Learning

Abstract Enterprise Lecture Capture technologies have increasingly become pervasive in higher education. This article presents student views on the value of recorded lectures and their contribution to learning. The research examines how students engage with recorded lecture materials and the likely of this engaging impacting on lecture attendance. The results suggest that students found access to recorded lectures valuable to learning. They reported that recorded lectures offer alternative learning opportunities for missed lectures and are useful in revising for exams. Analysis of the data further revealed that provision of recorded lectures to students does not directly contribute to class absenteeism. The present study adds to growing research evidence in support of the value of recorded lectures in enhancing student engagement with learning materials.
