Interesting, if not biased, research. Echo 360 really floods the LC literature with this sort of thing, and I'm not entirely sure that they're not cherry picking findings in a non-scientific way. Of course they're a vendor and that's to be expected. I just take it with a grain of salt.

good comment. my initial interest was piqued by the rather large n for the study (2,000 is pretty good for ed tech research). you have to request the white paper and it's then emailed to you, so if anyone else wants to check it out let me know and I can send it along to you and you can avoid getting on echo's spam list... the study itself is interesting in that it asks about a pretty diverse list of perceived benefits of LC. it should be noted that half of the respondents are at medical or public health schools; I guess that just happens to be a big client base for echo. they also break things down by undergrad and grad responses, which is another way our group could go if we so choose (ie. are there distinct differences in use for UG vs. grad, etc).
