In September\n2019 JISC published its report \u201cDigital experience insights survey 2019:\nfindings from students in UK further and higher education\u201d by Mark\nLanger-Crame, Tabetha Newman, Helen Beetham, Clare Killen and Sarah Knight. In\nthis report the authors provide a detailed picture of how students experience\ntechnology as part of their learning in colleges and universities across the\nUK. Almost 30.000 students from Higher and Further Education described in this\nsurvey their attitude towards technologies and their digital learning\nexperiences. From the response we learn a few interesting things about the students\u2019\nattitude towards video in their learning. Between 20 and 25 % of students find\ncourse-related videos very useful to make their learning interactive and\nengaging. Surprisingly one of the most popular digital activities for Further Education\nstudents was making notes or recordings: over half them said they did this on a\nweekly basis. The most popular digital activity for Higher Education students\nwas accessing lecture notes or recorded lectures, not less than 5 out of 6 do\nthis on a weekly basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This observation\nreinforces the impression that for HE students lecture recordings are an issue\nof the highest importance. Students have come to rely on recordings and expect\nthem to be available in good quality, by which they predominantly mean consistent\naudio quality and rapid availability. The provided digital resources that HE\nstudents appreciated for their learning were mainly recorded lectures and other\nresources associated with lectures, such as slides and notes. While students in\ngeneral seem to be asking for lecture recording to be standard across departments\nand courses, a good portion of the student population also refers to the practice\nof making personal recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
