Abstract
Capturing lectures for online availability is becoming increasingly popular in academic
teaching. Students highly value lecture capture, since this provides them with flexibility and
an additional method for studying. Also, universities increasingly show interest in the use of
lecture capture, since the reputation of universities is dependent on satisfied students. Yet,
it is unclear how lecturers perceive this procedure and how lecture capture could be
promoted for increased use. The present study aimed to investigate the lecturer’s
perspective within two studies: In the first study, interviews were conducted with six
lecturers, in order to get an overview of all the relevant factors. A qualitative analysis of the
interview responses revealed five themes summarizing the lecturer’s perspective. These
were the I) perceived harm to student motivation, II) the comfort with being captured, III) the
perceived utility, IV) the need to support students and V) felt external pressures. Whether
these themes are indeed predictive of the intention to use lecture capture was tested in an
online survey in the second study. Logistic regression analyses suggest that the choice to
use lecture capture is dependent on the extent of felt external pressures and the perceived
utility of lecture capture. This implies that universities wanting to raise the likelihood that
lecturers use lecture capture should convince lecturers about the incorporated benefits of
lecture capture and should clearly demonstrate their expectations. Furthermore, the study
exploratively assessed the impact of the corona crisis on the perceptions of lecture capture.
Findings indicate that the corona crisis had a positive impact on the perception of lecture
capture among lecturers.
