Presentation used during the Media and Learning conference 2013 in Brussel
(note: I did not show the last 2 slides, they were there in case I needed to explain the tagging experiment).
3. Research into the use of
recorded lectures
• How do students use the
recordings?
– What do they say?
– What do they do?
• Usage paterns?
• Can we support their use with
tags?
5. How do students use them?
• Online questionnaire
– 1,122 students
– 7 courses
• Interviews
• Data on the server:
– 1,500,000 lines of log data
– Filter / Clean / Analyse
6. Some results
•
•
•
•
•
•
Most students watch at home
No major technical issues
Students want all lectures to be recorded
Quality of lecture has no major influence on use
Students prefer live lectures
Differences in use by different groups of
students
9. We all love pretty charts…
But what do they mean?
10. For example…
• What is a “view” ?
• Who’s views do you count ?
– “Anonymous” ?
• What recordings do you count ?
• Is “more” = “better” ?
• …
• Also important if you are comparing your results
with other research!!
16. Conclusions
• Students view shorter with tags
• Use of tags increases when exam approaches
• Students using tags score better for the exam
• Students…
– Can tag good enough
– Don’t all tag the same
– Don’t tag the same as the expert
