Benefits of Lecture Capture: Presented by University of Leeds' Students

The University of Leeds' Lecture Capture and Media Management system aims to support learners and enhance the student experience. Since 2014 thousands of hours of lecture capture recordings have been published and viewed by University staff and students. Much of this multimedia content is now being shared publicly as outlined by the Digital Strategy for Student Education 2013. All students can use the media management platform to record their own presentations to share with their supervisors, lecturers, each other, future employers, research partners and members of the public. James Kinch is a second year student in the School of Mechanical Engineering. He finds lecture capture very useful to revisit learning content, especially during revision time and uses the recordings to test himself when exploring challenging mathematical concepts. Rozalyn Yorke is studying a BSc in Medical Sciences and uses lecture capture regularly to support her when writing up her notes. The opportunity to revisit lectures gives her the confidence to prioritise her time when pursuing other University commitments. Samuel Ross is studying in the School of Biology. He has found it helpful to have access to missed lectures. As a final year student Samuel is thinking of his future career plans and it is inevitable that he may need to attend conferences, job searches and events that can improve his career choices. The University's Lecture Capture system therefore helps students like Samuel who need the flexibility to keep up with their studies and research whilst at the same time extending their portfolios and networking with future employers. You may also be interested in listening to Antonio Martinez-Arboleda, Principle Teaching Fellow in Spanish, talk about his own experience of using Lecture Capture to support student learning. Many thanks to the students in this video who have volunteered their time to talk about the benefits of Lecture Capture and to Leeds Media Service for filming and editing the videos for this project.
