Student perceptions of the value of Panopto
Alison Campbell, Tracy Bowell, & Lyn Hunt
12 April 2023
Virtual lecture capture (VLC) technologies such as Panopto allow students & staff to access lectures outside of ‘normal’ classes:•audio•video•powerpoint slides•‘in-show’ videos/websites•anything else that the camera is configured to record
more flexible learning opportunities.
Potential benefits for all participants.

Many academic staff express concerns that use of VLC will see a drop in lecture attendance.

Using Panopto at the University of Waikato
Surveyed students in BIOL101, STAT121, PHIL250.168 students responded to a question on how often they used VLC resources:

27% of students did not make use of recorded lectures
•Have attended lectures & do not require catching up through panopto;
•Did not need to, course notes were substantial;
•They didn't work properly quite often;
•I only have dial-up internet at my house out in the country.

Of those who accessed recordings at least some of the time, 2/3 found them very helpful, & the rest ‘somewhat helpful’.

Students’ reasons for using recordings indicate that the availability of lectures in this mode supports more flexible learning options:

Some users look at lectures soon after the original class.

Recordings are obviously used as a revision tool

For those who didn’t use recordings, access is an issue for a large minority (20.3%).

But what are students’ perceptions of VLC?•They are always good to go back on & go over if something was missed or hard to grasp.
•It didn't put me off going to the lectures because I found the lectures easier to learn from but was so useful when I needed to go over something the lecturer had said.
•Even though I haven't used them, I feel they are good to have & do like having them there if required.
•As a tool for long-distance learning I think that they are excellent. But having the lectures available to watch could have a detrimental effect on class attendance.

• Makes learning easier for people who are visual & listening learners.
• If I forgot about a topic etc I could go back to panopto to re-look at it & get a better understanding. If I missed a lecture for some reason I was able to go back and watch it.
• I could go back & pause important information & write notes about things I missed in class.
• I never missed a lecture but as exams get closer I know I will definitely use it to revise.

They also felt that lecturers might benefit from more training:•most recordings were missing sound/not recorded at all;
that students needed clearer advice on access options:•I was unaware there were lecture recordings;•Is there a 'how to use' guide on panopto somewhere? I am completely new to this & I cannot access all its features;
and that VLC should be expanded into other papers & classes:•Keep doing this! Helps my understanding. I wish my other lecturers did this too.

And the lecturers’ perceptions?Concerns that making VLC recordings available would see a drop in
lecture attendance weren’t realised.
Good to be able to do ‘extra’ recordings to cover difficult concepts.
Extremely beneficial learning tool for students who have to miss a class.
Allows students to be more flexible in what & how they learn – opportunity to become more responsible for their own learning.
Richer & more engaging experience than simply reading through lecture notes.
Not perfect e.g. only the lecturer’s input to a class is recorded.
Well worth using to reflect on one’s own teaching performance.
