Due to COVID-19, I conducted my lectures remotely during the last semester. Additionally, I recorded the lectures and posted them on YouTube. I have recorded over 30 lectures on various subjects. This semester I did a survey to see if the students used these recordings. Of course, these are the ones who passed the previous course :)
I would like to add that I attended my lectures very well (> 60%).
Survey results:
27% - I used the recordings often.
23% - I used it several times.
50% - I used it occasionally or not at all.
So halfway through my lectures were of no use. So is it worth spending time making recordings and uploading it online?
And with you, do students use the recordings of the lectures?
There's a lot of people talking about posible futures of teacher's work. I agree that We should think about how much time, what value and what a consequences of our lectures and mainly, how this recordings are producing free and quality content to the people and 'machines'. Some questions: "How much are we observed?", "How this recordings can turn us dispensable in the future?", "Honestly, Are we being payed suficiently for this contents?"
I also posted my lectures on the Internet. Those that students must learn during the semester. In parallel, I was giving out tasks. Students performed them and sent them to me for control. There was feedback. I sent in corrected errors in assignments. Questions were sent to the test and the exam. Students submitted answers and received grades.
If you think recording college lectures and playing them back later could improve your learning, it's certainly worth a try. After going through the
I think that the problem is not in distance education using videos, direct communication, etc., but rather the problem is in students' abilities and their financial conditions. Most students, especially in developing countries, do not even have computers at home. In addition to the daily financial exchange on the Internet. There are many other factors that affect students' ability to use the internet.
I think its a good idea and can be very beneficial to both the teach abd the learner. It can help the teacher improve and the learner reply play the video and better understand the concepts.
