Emerging Educational Research in Lecture Recording and Student Learning Behaviours
This educational research webinar series will focus on emerging academic research into the impact of lecture recordings on student outcomes and learning behaviours. Four experienced researchers will outline new studies, providing a context for their work, their methodological approach and early findings. This is an opportunity to learn more about video-based learning, accessibility and analytics. In these interactive sessions, the presenters are also interested to learn from other similar experiences so will provide plenty of time for discussions and will explain how to conduct similar work in your institutions. Webinars will be held at 12noon on the 13th, 20th and 27th Nov, and the 4th Dec. Learn more: https://go.alt.ac.uk/310KBTE
