Students use lecture recordings for a range of general purposes, for example to balance family, work, and other study commitments (e.g., Chester, Buntine, Hammond, & Atkinson, 2011; Dona, Gregory, & Pechenkina, 2017: Pons, Walker, Hollis & Thomas, 2011; Taplin, Kerr, & Brown, 2014), and as a backup for lectures that were unintentionally missed, for example, as the result of illness or transportation issues (e.g., Yeung et al., 2016; Gysbers, Johnston, Hancock, & Denyer, 2011).
