Master Teachers’ Guild ATTENDANCE & LECTURE CAPTURE John H. Becker, Ph.D. 9/27/11
Types of Media • Audio recordings • Video recordings • With or without persons shown • Computer capture • E.g. Camtasia records Powerpoint slides and audio • Projector capture • Similar to above
Issues of Lecture Capturing (L-C) • Intellectual property rights • Yours • Anything you borrow and show and post • Pre-recording vs live recording +/- editing • Camera-shyness (for video) – onto You-tube? • Loss of interaction with students (Q&A may be gone) • But, near-universal student preference for L-C • Costs & technical problems • Commercial vs Freeware vs home-made • Attendance
Literature on L-C and Attendance • Cardall 2008 paper –Harvard Medical School • Students • M1, D1, M2, & D2; N =353 • Surveys • 35 Likert-style questions • Special focus : • ability to accelerate video playback • Results • Attendance at live lectures • 48% regular, 34% variable, 18% rarely • Of all the lectures, how many did you view via: • 57% live, 29% video, 4% both, and 9% neither • Video viewing • 100% saw some lectures; 89% used the accelerator
Cardall, 2008, continued • Most important reason for attending live lectures • 28% not motivated to view recordings • 18% show professionalism/respect to professor • 12% talk with classmates • 11% consumerism (value for tuition) • Other • Most important reason for NOT attending live lectures • 22% learning style that works for me • 20% can structure my own day • 20% can watch at my own pace • 14% can set my own learning priorities • other
Cardall, 2008, cont. • Conclusions • Reasons don’t show a lack of commitment : choices are for their professional goals • Only 4% of lectures were viewed by both methods – so students are not using them much as supplements • Acceleration is a popular time-saver, and 65% said they used that saved time for school-related pursuits. • When given an option, students will vote with their feet.
Paper #2 • Schreiber 2010 Imperial Medical College, London • Students • M3s, new Rheumatology didactic unit • Case/control randomized cross-over design • N=100, randomized 50:50, then go to other mode • Topics & Modes • Vasculitis and Arthritis, same professor, had printed notes • Live lecture and “video podcast” 15 minutes each, then Quiz of 17 MCQs • Immediately switch to the other unit, using the other mode • Survey • Rated content & retention, presentation, and pleasantness • Qualitative: free text comments • Results of Survey • All 4 presentations rated favorably or neutral • Live lectures slightly superior to podcast for content & presentation • 5-point scale, 1 is best: 1.2 for live; 1.5 for podcast
Schreiber, 2010, continued • Results of Knowledge Assessment (Quizzes) • No significant differences • Qualitative comments on Podcasts • Pro = convenience (location & controls) • Con = less engaging, requires discipline to concentrate
Schreiber, 2010, cont. • Conclusions • Students prefer live lecture to video podcast • Knowledge gains were similar • Students value Video for the convenience and ability to review • But Video is “less engaging”
Literature • What other papers, seminars, blogs, etc have said: • Attendance suffers, but not too much • Other tools to insure attendance: • 10 day delay of post, active learning, in-class quizzes, points, stop recording if attendance falls below a benchmark • Other issues • Qatar Pharm: use video for teaching assessment & promotion • “Dress rehearsal” effect from faculty • Outcomes Assessment • Problems with surveys • Has anyone at RFUMS done attendance assessment? • See next talk
New Technology and Attendance • What do you think? Home-schooled med students? • Audience debate
