Podcasting & Student Attendance Report

| No Comments

I've been working on an internal report looking at the question: If I podcast my course, why would students still come to class?

There is a good deal of literature available that shows that students do not cut class because audio and/or video of class lectures are available. We also have anecdotal information from UA faculty who are podcasting course lectures who tell us that they have not observed a decrease in class attendance. In fact, these faculty members report that students appreciate having the lectures available and use them to review for exams, clarify difficult points, and catch up when they miss class for legitimate reasons.
