“I have to work whilst at uni to help support my family and sometimes I have to go to work on days when I have a lecture so with recordings I can do both”
“Always provides a reference point to return to if I am stuck on a concept”
“Ability to learn lecture materials at my own pace, pausing when covering complex topics, and speeding up recordings when covering basic topics”

What don’t you like about using recordings …
“Often lecturers will use overhead projections or other demonstrations which are not visible to people watching online.”
“You can't see where lecturers are pointing when they explain something.”
“Sometimes the beginning or the end of the lecture gets cut out because the recording automatically starts and stops according to the scheduled time”
“Inability to hear student questions” (distance from microphone)
Incomplete capture
Lecturer expressions & actions
Non-digital presentation tools
Audio capture
“It is easy to get distracted; using the recordings generally takes longer than physically attending the lecture.”
