Abstract

The use of lecture capture technology to provide students with the ability to review lecture material and to retrospectively “attend” missed lectures has become common practice in Australia and around the world. This panel discussion follows the evolution of university teachers’ acceptance and application of this technology over the past 10 years, and explores the potential for misuse or overuse of captured lectures beyond the provision of review materials.
One specific concern relating to misuse of captured lectures relates to their application for the provision of primary course content to both fully online student cohorts and those studying in different locations from where the live lectures were captured. In other words, using captured lectures as original teaching content for students not attending the lecture that was captured. Panel members consider the style of video learning objects that are most effective for students engaging in online study, and suggest that captured live lectures meet few of these criteria. Recommendations for best practice are offered.
