Weaker students gained from supplementary use of recordings but only the stronger students were able to use the recordings to overcome the impact of low attendance. They concluded that lecture recordings were the most beneficial for first year undergraduates, particularly non native speakers. The study spanned four years of an Undergraduate programme in order to review the impact of attendance, lecture recording and student attainment. These Academics should be relieved to hear about the results of a recent study at the University of Aberdeen by Emily Nordmann, Colin Calder, Paul Bishop, Amy Irwin and Darren Comber, published in January 2018 the team found “no evidence for a negative effect of recording use, or that attendance and recording use were related”. In 2016/17, 6445 lectures were recorded (a 12.7% rise in recordings from 2015/6) and with over 5000 recordings already completed this academic year we are on track to record an additional 25% more content for 2017/18.ĭespite the expansion in the use of lecture recording there is still a concern amongst some academic staff that recording lectures will lead to a decrease in lecture attendance. Lecture recording is becoming more established in Higher Education with 71% of institutions reporting using it in 2016 (UCISA, 2016) and many moving towards an opt out system.Īt LSE an increasing number of courses are using lecture recording to support students.
