Educational institutions use such recordings as a means to make classes available to more people. In addition, providing classroom recordings online can improve education for their local students – for example, to cope with conflicting dates, to catch up with presentations they missed due to illness, or by simply offering them the ability to repeat parts of selected lectures when preparing for exams.
