Hi, > Would students show more gains if they were "taught" (or even just > told about) good lecture webcast study skills?
It would be interesting to come up with these skills. Eg. if the first video in every series was a short 2-4 min video that dealt with how to incorporate lecture capture into studying. This would be a great community-developed resource if there is interest. > Btw, it's not surprising to me that watching right before exams > doesn't lead to outperforming peers (seems that it's a form of > "cramming"...known to NOT be an effective study technique). One of the issues with our study is that we don't know much about the student study habits outside of the lecture capture environment. Maybe using lecture capture to cram is bringing student marks up from dismal to average. We are considering ways of determining student study habits other than self-reported measures, and advice would be welcome. For instance, we might be able to look at their use of lcms systems, online textbooks, etc. If there is a good instrument for self-reported studying habits I would be interested in learning more about it as well...
