BCU is investigating lecture capture so this is timely to me. 



Seems difficult to pin down exact findings about relationship between attendance and attainment. We've been told there is no negative association between the two when LC is brought in, something which seems to be argued in this link as well (University of Edinburgh) - https://www.teaching-matters-blog.ed.ac.uk/?p=1972. My gut feeling is that it would lead to even more selectivity among students, particularly in relation to assessment. I also think it raises issues of how you capture lecture discussions, flipped classrooms, non-standard approaches, confidentialitt, concerns round about the tech aspects - switching it on/off, uploading to Moodle, copyright issues etc. But it does go in lock-step with the inclusivity push that we're seeing among universities, so I can see the benefits of it to those students with SENS, problems with attendance and so on.   



I don't know how locking videos would work in a VLE like Moodle, so maybe Blackboard is different in this regard?

    Hi folks,

    

    There's a discussion on Times Higher Education's Twitter feed about lecture capture, 

    and that in one institution it has been found to double student absence - alongside 

    the finding that those who only watch the lecture, don't actually attend, get lower 

    grades.

    

    What are TeachLingers experiences here? My university doesn't currently use lecture 

    capture as a default, though I think the technology is mostly in place.

    

    There's also a little gem of advice that came up in the Twitter conversation, and 

    that's to make the video only available to students who actually attended in person, 

    using the 'adaptive release' feature in Blackboard (presumably similar features exist 

    in other VLEs). There were no details of precisely how that works in practice, how 

    you feed the attendance data into the adaptive release, but it seems like a potential 

    solution to the above issue.

    

    Captively yours,

    Dave
