The ability to revisit content has shown to be valuable to the learning process (see 鈥淩eferences鈥 below). Recorded classroom lectures were overwhelmingly highlighted by students as an invaluable learning tool in survey responses collected over the 2020-2021 academic year.
These recordings are particularly useful to students for:
- Reviewing materials
- Revisiting complex topics or getting clarity on points students may have misunderstood
- Allowing students to focus on engaging in discussions during class rather than taking notes
- Adding to or taking notes on the lecture
- Preparing for exams
- Improving the overall learning experience
These recordings can be highly beneficial to students with learning support needs, students who miss lectures unexpectedly due to illness, nonnative English speakers, and those who otherwise need to review the materials.
