Abstract

Lecture capture (LC)-a recording of the live lecture provided as a supplementary resource-is accepted as a standard provision in UK higher education. Previous research has shown it to be very popular with students, although there have been conflicting findings in terms of its impact on attendance and attainment, and suggestions that student engagement with this resource varies depending on their own preferences and approaches. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of LC on students in a wider sense, encompassing pedagogic and pastoral aspects of student development. This mixed-methods study analyzed focus group and questionnaire data from first- and second-year veterinary students at one UK university. Results demonstrated the student belief that LC is important for learning and well-being but highlighted the facilitation of passive and surface learning that this resource offers. More worryingly, this study identified a group of students for whom this resource may be particularly unhelpful. This group, relied excessively upon LC for learning, felt overwhelmed by their workload despite working fewer hours, and subsequently achieved poorer exam results. A key theme in this negative relationship appeared to be low self-efficacy. The findings enable educators to consider how resources are provided and to encourage implementing mechanisms to help students make better choices, and take control of their learning.
