Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: Turn up tune in don’t drop out: The relationship between lecture attendance use of lecture recordings and achievement at different years of study

This session will present the results of a study investigating lecture attendance and lecture recordings across four years of an undergraduate degree. For first year students attendance and recording use were positive predictors of performance although only high GPA students’ use of recordings helped overcome the impact of low attendance. For second year students attendance and recording use were positively correlated with but no longer predictive of achievement. There was no relationship for honours student. We suggest focusing on improving lecture attendance through monitoring whilst also providing recordings for supplementary use.
