Supporting student learning through the use of lecture capture technology
Presentation by
Daniel [email protected]
overview
• The use of lecture recording technologies and the delivery of electronic media to a cohort.
• The unexpected benefits, especially retention and cohesion of a cohort.
• Good practice use of video material from lectures.
• Future use of social media to capture the student learning experience.

doh !
My careful plan crumbles.
ie.This is Real Life
Some students will be ill, have personal problems,
will have other appointments, will miss
lectures, will forget

During some months hundreds of hours of lecture material was watched. The total is
now in several thousands of views.
Thousands of hours of value,
from a single lecture.
Student experience
“I missed lots of lectures and had doubts about
the course but catching up via the videos made
me feel part of the group again”
“they made revision so much easier, it brought straight back to mind
what we had covered”
feedback has been overwhelmingly positive
Student experience
“Reviewing what we covered in the session
when I’m at home allows me to take it in at my own pace, in my own
time”
“I’m not taking your module but the seeing the videos
was really useful”

• Currently working in several lecture theatres.
• Refinements to publishing infrastructure in progress.
• Possible to use NOW but some technical knowledge needed.
Lecture Capture and deployment solution
The future
360° learning captureSharing the educational experience
360° learning capture
Combine ideas shown so far
Build a unified collaboratory for learning capture– Syllabus material (slide sets,
lecture recordings)
– Searchable transcripts & subtitles
– Database of related URLs,
– Student annotations & discussion
– Capture of socialmedia discussions
– Wiki for frequently asked questions
Sharing the experience not just the materials.
The Social Media Classroom
…support a movement away from education as delivery of knowledge, toward education as critical collaborative inquiry
…engage students in actively constructing knowledge together, rather than passively absorbing it from texts, lectures, and discussions

Inspired by “Social Media Classroom” project
(Harold Rheingold – 2008)
Starting August 2012
Practice led pedagogic research
• Delivering Collaborative Social Media Classroom to three level one modules in Creative Technologies
• Engaging students in research process
• Enabling students to feedback and shape environment
• Performing quantitative and qualitative analysis
Starting August 2012
We are intending to answer the question:
"Can social communications technologies be used to improve student engagement and enable 360
degree capture of the learning materials, knowledge and debate that occurs throughout the
pedagogic delivery process?"
