Abstract

Content capture is increasingly becoming an important feature of e-learning in higher education. Current research on this topic has revealed that although beneficial in some instances, lecture capture can also have an adverse impact on the quality of teaching and student attendance and performance. Given this context, this study explores student perceptions and experiences of their usage of and interactions with captured content. In particular, we explore three main areas: the ways in which content capture is used by students outside the classroom before or after the lecture, the degree to which there is a noticeable change in lecturers’ performance and delivery of the material because of the software used, and the students’ perception and experience of the degree to which lecture capture supports the delivery of a student-centred lecture.
