Exam-level analysis of lecture capture viewing and student exam performance
1Biology Department, Trent University, Peterborough, Canada.
Lecture capture (LC) viewing generally improves exam scores, but strategic, habitual engagement is key. Excessive viewing time, especially last-minute cramming, can negatively impact performance.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Learning Sciences
Background:
- Lecture capture (LC) systems provide flexible review options for students.
- The impact of LC on learning outcomes is not consistently understood.
- Previous research shows mixed results regarding LC effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the relationship between lecture capture engagement metrics and student exam performance.
- To identify specific LC usage patterns that correlate with improved academic outcomes.
- To investigate the influence of viewing duration and frequency on learning.
Main Methods:
- Examined data from 299 students across three in-person courses with LC videos.
- Collected Zoom analytics and exam grade data for 982 noncumulative exam observations.
- Utilized a linear mixed-effects model to analyze the impact of four LC metrics on exam scores.
Main Results:
- LC viewers (66.1%) scored significantly higher than nonviewers (59.4%).
- Average LC view duration per lecture was the strongest predictor of exam score.
- Higher viewing time per lecture correlated with improved performance, while increased number of lectures viewed showed a negative association.
Conclusions:
- Strategic and habitual LC engagement, characterized by consistent viewing duration per lecture, positively influences exam performance.
- Episodic or excessive viewing, particularly last-minute cramming, is associated with lower exam scores.
- Findings support self-regulated learning theories, emphasizing the importance of mindful LC utilization.
