Leadbeater, Wendy; Shuttleworth, Tom; Couperthwaite, John; Nightingale, Karl P. – Computers & Education, 2013
Lecture recordings are increasingly used to supplement lecture attendance within higher education, but their impact on student learning remains unclear. Here we describe a study to evaluate student use of lecture recordings and quantify their impact on academic performance. Questionnaire responses and online monitoring of student's access to…

Savoy, April; Proctor, Robert W.; Salvendy, Gavriel – Computers & Education, 2009
The benefit of PowerPoint[TM] is continuously debated, but both supporters and detractors have insufficient empirical evidence. Its use in university lectures has influenced investigations of PowerPoint's effects on student performance (e.g., overall quiz/exam scores) in comparison to lectures based on overhead projectors, traditional lectures…

An Analysis of the Use of Virtual Delivery of Undergraduate Lectures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smeaton, Alan F.; Keogh, Gary – Computers & Education, 1999
Describes the development of virtual lectures that were digitally recorded and discusses an analysis of their use by undergraduate students. Results of log-file analysis and pre-course and post-course questionnaires indicate that mode of delivery, student usage, and prior computer experience have no impact on overall exam performance.
