WBLT is not designed as a distance education tool, but rather as a support mechanism for students who are unable to attend lectures for a variety of reasons (Williams & Fardon, 2007). Generally, no time or money are invested in designing or modifying lecture materials for use in the non-contiguous learning environment, though research suggests this should be considered (Gosper, McNeil, Woo, Phillips, Preston & Green, 2007). The lecture is typically recorded and made available for students to access at a later date (Curtin iLectures, 2009; McKenzie, 2008). This is confirmed by Phillips et al (2007) who conducted a survey of 155 academic teaching staff from across four Australian universities and found 75% made no adaptations to their units to accommodate the use of WBLT.
