@edinkasia I'd like to see a paper on "why faculty record lectures at all." A good lecture, in my mind, is VERY participatory, with students actively asking and answering questions. I would never want that reduced to just staring at a screen.

🗨️ Why do students use lecture recordings the way they do? ❓Why do they substitute where we'd prefer them to supplement? ❗️Turns out attitudes and norms have something to do with this. Find out more in our new paper #lecturecapture #HigherEducation authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03…
