Recording was for anywhere, anytime – designed using flexible methods using Tablet PCs. Given to 50 lecturers to trial.
Problems with traditional recording – need dedicated rooms and equipment. The tablet PC overcomes this.
Wireless lapel mic connected to the computer; software; three buttons to record the lecture by lecturer, then uploaded.
90% used of students used online lectures. Students reported that they used them for exam preparation, revision and reviewing key points.
90% of lecturers reported positive impact on teaching; 60% reported improved quality. The rest said no difference.
80% students reported that the annotations improved the quality of the lecturers. Annotations also were a good place marker of where the lecture was up to.
Problems were file size (large download), some handwriting that was not easy to read or information obscured by annotations. Some lecturers reported that being tied to the podium was bad. This can be overcome through wireless projectors or logmein software – we need to sort this out for BBC! Can we put old computers at the front setup and logged in all the time using a second staff login?
