LECTURE CAPTURE
LECTURE CAPTURE PILOT
Lecture capture is an all encompassing term
describing any technology that allows
lecturers or tutors to record their lectures
and make them available digitally
(Educause, 2008).
Using visual information (lecture capture) as
an additional channel can aid the retention
of verbal information
(Mayer & Anderson, 1991)
Learning requires visual as well as auditory
stimulus, particularly when technology is
being used, in order to promote cognitive
processing.
Whatley & Ahmad (2007)
Imagine what a lecture may be like for an average
university student. New concepts may be difficult, taking
notes may get in the way of listening fully, attention wanes
toward the end, a lecture missed due to illness may put
someone behind for weeks. The lecture may be conducted
in an unfamiliar language or a learning disability may make
lectures or concepts particularly difficult.
Imagine if all those lectures were recorded and put online
after the fact - the benefits to having that lecture available
as a resource become clear.
Recording with PowerPoint &
Keynote
Use of lecture capture does not stop at
archives of lectures or informational
recordings- a creative and reflective lecturer
can use the technology in various ways to
change their teaching.
Recording demonstrations
Benefits
• Additional level of support for students of all types
(lecture capture as a study tool)
• Ability to capture visitors and special lectures
• Pool of resources which are editable, sharable, reusable,
and indefinitely accessible
• Opportunity to expand to blended/online module
• Offers a way in online modules to create more
personalized material with a lecturer's voice or image
• 'Desktop' recordings offer a simple way to give feedback
or provide bespoke resources as need arises
• Chance to reflect, self-evaluate, or change teaching

FAQs 1
• Will attendance in recorded lectures be affected?
Evidence from other HEIs suggests that attendance is
not affected by lecture capture.
• Do I make all lecture material available?
You should make sure that the recording is a close as
possible to the live lecture. You may wish to trim off the
start and end of the recording, but where possible you
should avoid changing the main body of the recording.
There may be occasions when you need to remove
sections, for example if you play a video that can be
shown live but may not be recorded.
FAQs 2
• Will all lectures be recorded?
At the moment we are running a pilot of lecture capture
so that we can evaluate the needs of the University so
not all lectures will be recorded.
• Do I still need to attend recorded lectures?
Yes, you will still be expected to attend lectures as usual.
The recordings are an extra resource that you may find
useful for revision and reviewing complex areas.
• How do students access the material?
Students will be able to watch the recorded lectures from
Moodle.
