Lecture capture provides us with the ability to offer the students the opportunity to listen
to the lecture once more, twice more, however many times they like.
I use lecture capture, the personal lecture capture, either in my office or at home. I
set myself up with the computer right in front of me. I sit there and give a lecture and
smile and make jokes and put in meaningful pauses so that the students on their end are
able to receive that and feel connected.
One of the reasons that I really enjoy the hybrid class is that most of the students
have watched the lecture, the captured lecture, before they come to the face-to-face class
meeting so they're prepared to ask me questions.
I could spend all of the class time working on problems and real-world applications of
the material to really solidify the student's understanding of Microeconomics.
What we've found is that students overwhelmingly use it.
On average 70% of students are watching the lectures for that week. Half of those students
are watching the lectures two times or more.
The nice thing about lecture capture is that we have removed the burdens associated with
the faculty having to do anything beyond simply attending class and doing whatever they otherwise
would do. The technology is there, all they need to do is to show up, deliver their class,
and the next day they receive an email with a link that they can forward to the students
or upload on Moodle.
When I designed the hybrid course and captured all the lectures, I didn't cut out any of
the course content. So the students in the hybrid class are getting the same lecture
that they would get in a traditional class.
I look forward to when I will use this in one of my deaf specialization classes. That
really opens up a wonderful opportunity for deaf students to have the opportunity for
distance learning.
