Hi Anna
Part of our University's good practice guidance on access is to
encourage lecturers to make their lecture notes available on the
Intranet a week or two in advance (particularly helpful for sign
language interpreters). As you can imagine there is some hostility to
that from some people (lecture notes? what lecture notes? You mean these
handwritten ones I've been using since 1973? etc)
Can't remember any research, but from personal experience students rated
the online handouts and resources more highly than anything else in my
module reviews this year - and there was no obvious reduction in lecture
turnout when I put them up on the web in advance of the sessions (rather
than after). From a purely mercenary point of view, there are economic
and resource advantages because there is no longer any need for me to
print and copy the lecture handouts/slides because those who want them
can print or save them (in whatever format they like) and bring them
along ;o)
Best wishes
Mark

Dear All,
Can anyone help me? Recently on one or the other of these lists I
came across some research which showed that producing course
outlines/handouts etc online did not reduce turnout at
lectures...does anyone else remember this and can they supply a
proper reference?
Many thanks,
