One major result of the survey was that students would like their professors to make more use of technology. 80 percent “wished instructors used SacCT more” and 78.1 percent said that they would like more Lecture Capture in their courses.

“If I had to leave early for one of my classes, I’d have to ask a friend in the class or send an email to the teacher, ‘Can you let me know what the homework is?’ kind of thing,” Rodriguez said. “It would be helpful if I could just look online and not bug anyone.”

Lecture capture has attracted a good deal of hostility recently. One article in Times Higher Education reported reservations from academics about the effect that recording lectures for online viewing could have on student participation and attendance (“University of Huddersfield gives tutorial filming plan green light”, News, 5 July). Another article aired worries that editing recorded lectures might eat into academics’ time, and that they may be used by management to assess performance, or by students to expose staff to ridicule (“Disability cuts lead to universal lecture capture policy”, 28 July). My own experience has led me to a very different view. Early this year, after more students enrolled on my ethics and society course than our school’s largest lecture theatre could hold, arrangements were made to live-stream the lectures into an overflow room. Because the capture system also recorded the lectures, we decided to post them on the course’s online learning platform and see what happened. The results were very positive.

48 per cent of respondents said that the recordings greatly enhanced their learning, with 94 per cent acknowledging some positive impact.

on average, each student viewed the library of 31 lectures 14 times, for a total duration of five hours. Lectures were watched for an average of 22 minutes, indicating selective use rather than passive reception.

When it comes to the use of video in education, the over-riding theme — as we might expect — is more, more, more

58 percent of colleges are running flipped classes, up from 50 percent last year. Lecture capture has grown by five percentage points to 77 percent and webcasting has gone up by four percentage points to 51 percent over the same period.

In K-12, 87 percent of schools are using video in the classroom, compared to 86 percent in higher ed

 Les Mooc sont-ils alors des outils efficaces de formation continue et de perfectionnement pour les managers ?  Non, s’ils restent des cours en vidéo dont toute l’innovation pédagogique se limite à un support numérique, quelle que soit la plate-forme utilisée (Udemy, Khan Academy, EdX ou Coursera pour ne citer que les américaines les plus connues). Oui, si le cours s’accompagne d’interactions avec des experts ou des pairs et si les exercices sont systématiquement corrigés pour recevoir un feedback, étape essentielle de l’apprentissage, ce que nous appellons un « Mooc premium ».

Higher education institutions are increasingly using lecture capture to help their students, according to a 2018 State of Video in Education report from Kaltura. There was a 21% increase in lecture capture use by institutions over the last two years, up from 65% in 2016 to 79% this year. Lecture capture doesn’t just take place in standard lecture halls too, with 10% of all those responding saying they already capture over half of all classes, wherever they take place, and 31% keen to follow their lead. Overall, 88% of respondents across higher education and K-12 (primary/secondary schools) already use lecture capture tools or intend to in the future.

The use of video by students for assignments is on the rise, at 69% this year, up from 59% in 2017. Video feedback on student assignments is also growing and is now used by more than a third of institutions (35%) – up from 27% last year – perhaps due to the growth in remote learning.

Closed captions are in use at over half (52%) of institutions today, while 34% use interactive video quizzes to help students learn more effectively. Mobile apps that make it easy for students to watch videos on the move, or offline, are used by 39% of institutions, and a further 53% are eager to add this capability.

Hype and expectations for AI are now sky high

on one hand the hype is far ahead of the reality; on the other, the upside could be much bigger than we think. And in HR the opportunity for value is massive.

The systems can understand speech, identify photos, and use pattern matching to pick up signals about mood, honesty, and even personality. These algorithms are not “intuitive” like human beings, but they are fast, so they can analyze millions of pieces of information in seconds and quickly correlate them against patterns.

In 2014, the Florida Department of Education gave a survey to students after taking end-of-course evaluations. The results showed that more students preferred computer tests over paper (53% of the students agreed to that statement). Another study in 2017 Saudi published in the International Journal of Information and Education Technology presented the opposite result. Here, only 42.5% prefer online over paper exam, which is still a considerable portion of the survey population. But while that may be the case, 77.5% of the total examinees liked the fact that they are able to receive results and feedback automatically after taking the test.

Below are 7 reasons to consider when deciding whether to incorporate online methods to your teaching and evaluation, from the perspective of students.

1. Getting test results immediately give students peace of mind

Dans cet environnement, le digital Learning est le canal d’apprentissage qui convient

L‘expérience utilisateur se simplifie grâce aux chaînes de formation qui s'inspirent de la plateforme « Netflix » et aux centres d’intérêts par « mots clés ». Le catalogue de formation doit s’adapter en continu aux évolutions des usages et aux besoins opérationnels des lignes métiers - vers la curation des contenus. D’autre part, le style d’apprentissage doit être proposé avec différentes modalités pour répondre aux attentes du moment de l’apprenant : Vidéo, Livre, Audio et la mise en pratique avec des exercices

But there is room for improvement. Samson, who has an advisory role with Echo360 and tests new features in the classroom, said that he would like to see the confusion alert enhanced to give instructors more information. Currently, the platform enables students to click on a flag when they see a slide in the lecture they don’t understand, but it doesn’t specify what is confusing the student. Richard Caccavale, senior director of product marketing at Echo360, said that he anticipated improvements to the confusion-alert feature to be rolled out later this year. Students will be asked to specify whether it is something the instructor said that confused them or something on a lecture slide. The students will also be encouraged to expand on what they found confusing or ask a question.
