So, What's Next?

Not Lecture Recordings, but Learning Capture

What?! There's more to learning than recording PowerPoint/ your lecturer’s voice?

I asked students ‘What resources would help you…’:

1. Prepare for class?
2. In class?
3. To further expand on what’s learnt in class?

Students identified the benefits of this approach:

1. Skills enhancement - utilising advanced software and equipment
2. More value for your degree
3. Accessibility for commuters, parents, carers etc
