- 11. Analytics
- 12. Common Questions • Does Lecture capture affect lecture attendance? • What about copyright and performing rights? • https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/copyright/ipr
- 13. Student Attendance • Anecdotal evidence from academics over the last 7 years of use at UCL suggests overall attendance has not been affected by the use of Lecture Capture • Globally the evidence via research is significant that students will not be dissuaded from attending lectures by the existence of recorded lectures. It was shown in studies that students regard recordings as a supplementary tool, an aid to their revision, and not as a replacement for live lectures.
