The authors, Erping Zhu and Inger Bergom, make some interesting points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no evidence that student attend less.<\/li>\n<li>Students can concentrate on listening instead of taking notes when there is going to be a podcast posted. This is a good thing &#8211; note taking is not learning.<\/li>\n<li>Students use podcasts to go over difficult ideas &#8211; they can back up and replay. They use captured lectures to review (instead of notes?)<\/li>\n<li>Videocasts can be more effective than live lectures because students at live lectures can be distracted by the prof (or others), while with video they can concentrate on the slide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Until now I didn&#8217;t think capturing lectures would be worth it, but watching students slavishly take notes at the expense of learning has always bothered me. Telling students to not take notes doesn&#8217;t do any good. If they can count on podcasts or video then they might relax and think about the issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does recording and then podcasting lectures help learning?
