Lecture recordings at the university – analysis and evaluation of implementation possibilities

Abstract

Despite constant criticism on lectures as didactic instruments, they remain the most common form of teaching [11]. Due to the rising need for flexibility in the learning process, lecture recordings are seen as a possibility to capture this demand. This paper presents an empirical study conducted at the University of Bamberg, Germany, and a literature review that evaluated main requirements for a lecture recording solution in the specific blended learning scenario at the faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences at the University of Bamberg. Additionally, possible recording and distribution solutions have been analyzed. The results have been captured in a summarizing recommendation for the specific case at the University of Bamberg.
