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

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

27. Usability study (3-6/2012, N=16)

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
