Abstract

Learning technology has been a major focus of educational research for several decades and much has been written about its potential for transforming higher education internationally. Increasingly, universities are not only supporting various learning technology but mandating adoption by teaching staff. Despite this, there is still relatively little research on users’ attitudes to these systems and a lack of understanding of how the systems are used in practice. In previous work we investigated staff attitudes to technology adoption, discovering a much wider range of concerns and barriers to effective use than generally acknowledged in existing studies. In this paper we consider a student perspective on the use of one particular technology: lecture capture. Qualitative data was collected from final year undergraduates and analysed to provide insight into the way they use recorded lectures and to understand their views of the benefits of the system. Although perspectives on the use of these video resources differ between students and staff, when asked to confront and respond to concerns expressed by lecturers, the students showed a level of maturity and understanding in their appreciation of the issues. However they raised issues concerning reciprocal empathy from staff of their own concerns.
