New challenges to continuing education for teachers

• Improve overall quality, commitment and effects• Flexibility and democracy in participation• Support personal learning paths• Integration of ICT in education• Mobility and technology development• Systematic data collection for improvement

Traditional purposes for lecture capture

• Compensation of attendance• Supporting retention and clarification of complex

concepts• Supporting notetaking ability and quality• Supporting linguistic understanding• Supporting learning difficulties or disabilities• Supporting homework and assignments• Preparing for examinations

Pedagogical challenges

• ”Does it create better learning outcomes?”• 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 also social events• Measurement and development

Project approach to support the development(”MOVIE”, 2011-2012)• The development of pedagogical quality and

effectiveness of lecture capture– How modern video technology can support learning

and teaching while enhancing pedagogical value and advances in learning results?

– How the students are using the recorded lectures to support their studies?

– How can we measure of the impact in various contexts?

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

Encouraging preliminary results (N=48)

• 78% was satisfied with the implementation• 79% found lecture capture useful for their studies

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• No significant impact on lecture attendance• The recordings are viewed mostly from home, usually just

before exams• No clear insight on how to use the recordings to support

their learning processes– Need to clarify motives and study preferences with LC– Need to develop coherent pedagogical formats regarding LC

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 contexts for

students– Include lecture capture in learning design– Summarize, contextualize and engage interaction

"Give students the best possibilities to

improve themselves“
