Lecture Capture: A Guide for Effective Use

 

A number of faculty members at the University of Michigan (U-M) are capturing lectures and creating podcasts and screencasts to provide supplementary learning material, to free up class time for active learning experiences, or to make learning material accessible to the general public. This paper reviews research on the use and impact of lecture capture technology, discusses challenges and implications of using this technology in classrooms, and provides guidance for using this tool to enhance teaching and student learning.
