Does lecture capture make a difference for students in traditional classrooms

Published: 27 June 2011 Publication History

Abstract

The College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) at DePaul University has recorded thousands of courses using an in-house system called Course Online (COL) since 2001. These recordings are available not only to students enrolled in online CDM courses, but also to students in traditional classrooms at CDM. In this study we analyzed survey responses and grade data to determine whether traditional students found COL recordings to be a valuable substitutional tool and whether the recordings had any impact on student performance. We found that a large majority of traditional CDM students find the recordings useful and believe that they improve performance. Somewhat counter to the students' perceptions, we found that there were no large differences in performance prior to the introduction of COL recordings and after COL recordings began to be available.
