The who, what, when, and why of lecture capture

Abstract

Video lecture capture is rapidly being deploying in higher-education institutions as a means of increasing student learning, outreach, and experience. Understanding how learners use these systems and relating this use back to pedagogical and institutional goals is a hard issue that has largely been unexplored. This work describes a novel web-based lecture presentation system which contains fine-grained user tracking features. These features, along with student surveys, have been used to help analyse the behaviour of hundreds of students over an academic term, quantifying both the learning approaches of students and their perceptions on learning with lecture capture.
