Supporting In-Class Learning with Asynchronous and Autonomous Viewing of Near Real-Time Lecture Videos

One of the reasons to have in-class quizzes or exercises is to ensure that students understand the lecture and to reinforce the most important concepts. In the past, students must rely on their class notes when working on those exercises. In this study, we embarked on a practice to record and made available the in-class lectures to the students in near real-time. Students can then re-watch any part of a lecture to clarify or reinforce learned concepts asynchronously and autonomously.
