Lecture Capturing to Transform Student Learning Opportunities in Large Classes - Lectur... - 2 views

This proposal is designed to examine the impact of traditional uses of lecture capturing in courses of varying sizes and disciplines on students’ learning and course and instructor satisfaction, and to explore innovative instructional uses of lecture capturing to re-design traditional classroom activities in large enrollment lecture courses.
-
three to five instructors from different disciplines who teach large enrollment classes (100+ students) will be chosen to redesign an existing “lecture” of their course. Instructors will work with an instructional designer to pre-record an existing lecture to be delivered to students as outside class work and a student-centered application activity/activities to be delivered during the classroom session time when the original lecture would have been delivered.

Although student perceptions of lecture capturing are highly favorable, studies that have examined student learning outcomes related to traditional uses of lecture capturing have had mixed results. Brotherton and Abowd (2004) found no statistically significant differences in mid-term and final exams between classes with webcasts available to students and classes without access to webcasts. Harley and colleagues (2003) found that the relationship between the self-reported webcast usage and course grade was not statistically significant, and students who reported using lecture webcasts as a replacement for the in-person lecture had lower scores in the course overall

Proposal from someone at U of Texas (Gary - if you know the author, James Henson, might be worth an email) to do a specific research study using UT students and faculty to address two well-defined research questions. Some good citations included as well. I still have not come across any studies comparing the impact of lecture capture that has been pre-recorded for viewing vs. lecture capture that has been recorded from within a classroom. I have a feeling that pre-recording a lecture, by yourself in a room looking at a camera, vs. simply recording an actual live lecture in a classroom, has some tangible benefits for students.

I poked around, and here is the full report: http://magenta.cit.utexas.edu/turnbull/about/publications/internal-research-reports/echo360-pilot-fall-2009-results/ that is referenced in this proposal.
