Vor einigen Wochen saß ein tatsächlich Radioreporter in meiner "Semantic Web" Vorlesung hier am HPI in Potsdam. Allerdings - so steht zu befürchtet - hatte er nicht unbedingt viel Spaß am Thema der aktuellen Stunde, denn es stand die "Semantik von OWL" auf dem Programm, die ohne jegliches Vorwissen genossen, doch zu erheblichen Nebenwirkungen (z.B. Zweifel am eigenen Selbst- und Weltverständnis, Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit oder Schlafstörungen) führen kann ;-)
Der Grund für den Besuch lag (leider) nicht am Thema der Vorlesung als vielmehr an der Aufzeichnung derselben und dem aktuellen Angebot an HPI-Lehrveranstaltungen auf itunesU (von dem hier schon berichtet wurde). Radio Fritz hat ein kurzes "special" produziert, in dem über dieses Angebot berichtet wird und auch einige (unserer) Studenten -- und am Ende auch ich -- zu Wort kommen. Nette Sache ... aber ich zweifle daran, dass der Reporter tatsächlich, wie von ihm behauptet, erst "nach 10 Minuten" nichts mehr verstanden hat ;-)

Do Students really appreciate online lecture recordings...??
For another paper I was doing some research on how students are using online lecture recordings. I started with asking Google about studies and evaluations on the topic. But, as I had to find out, there are only some primitive evaluations (with a small number of participating students often limited to a spectial course or a single university) as to the satisfaction of the students -- often with 'overwhelming' results (as for advertising the used lecture recording technology...).
Here you may find a few examples (recent evaluations with more than 100 students seem to be rare...):
I was not able to find a more general, summarizing report dealing with a variety of scenarios and clustering the results (inluding methodological soundness and decent empirical basis).
So...first thing -- if you know about any study or evaluation (with significant empirical basis), please write a comment with a link to the source (!)
Second -- I know that this will also only be a rather limited and primitive poll -- please fill out the small poll below. Maybe we gain a little bit more insight on student's satisfaction concerning online lecture recordings -- not only restricted to a single course or a single university....

(interesting summary of several surveys down under in Australia with Lectopia/iLectures, more than 10.000 students addressed but only about 800 answered...) - Marc Krüger: Pädagogische Betrachtungen zu Vortragsaufzeichnungen (eLectures), in i-com, Zeitschrift für interaktive und kooperative Medien, Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag 3 56--60 (2005).
(first try of a more general study...)
