Final Report of the Task Force to Assess Instructional/Educational Technology Appendix I: Feedback provided by student respondents An overall opinion expressed by the majority of the students was that video and audio recordings of lectures are very much appreciated. That being said, there was also the feeling that these could be improved. Most of the complaints centered on the poor quality of the audio recordings. Specific complaints included 1) PowerPoint video presentations are blurry; 2) if PowerPoint is not used, nothing can be seen; 3) some professors are turning off the microphone if classroom attendance is low; 4) video lectures should not cut off the computer window with the professor live window; and 5) the camera needs to be pointed up more to show more of the screen and less of the students' heads. There were a few suggestions that were not of the "complaint variety." One was that an option to download multiple mp4s to an ipod from HookTV (presumably at the same time) would save time. Also, the ability to play back lectures at higher speeds (1.8x) is appreciated and should be preserved if new course recording systems are implemented. Notes from Mark Sharp: Downloading multiple mp4s at the same time is actually possible through the RSS feed that he makes available. Instructions are on the course recording FAQ page. He believes this will be retained with Echo 360. Page 6
Final Report of the Task Force to Assess Instructional/Educational Technology Appendix II: Summary of survey details relevant to Echo 360 and Screencorder Faculty Survey: Only 9% of faculty is familiar with Echo 360. 83% of faculty feels Echo 360 will be useful for instructional activities. Only 4% of faculty was familiar with the Screencorder software. After learning about Screencorder, 64% of faculty feels it would be useful for their instructional activities. Only one person who responded to the survey has used Screencorder, and that person found it useful. Student Survey: 84% of Pharmacy students surveyed have used ITaP’s Boilercast MP3 Recordings. 84% of the students have also used the Pharmacy video recordings. Only 3% of the students are aware that Boilercast will be replaced with Echo 360 beginning next fall. 91% of the students feel that Echo 360 will be useful for their learning activities. Only 3% of the students surveyed were aware of the Screencorder software prior to taking the survey. After Learning about Screencorder, 70% of the students surveyed felt that it would be useful in their learning activities. Only 2 students of the 118 that completed the survey have been in a class where Screencorder was used, both students felt that it was useful in their learning activities. Summary: As faculty move more course materials online, systems like Screencorder and Echo 360 will become more important. All of the technology has been in place for a while, it is just a matter of making sure Faculty is aware of it, and making sure it is easy to use. Technology demos at faculty meetings, and individual or group training sessions would be beneficial. Students seem to have a pretty good grasp of the technology. We could, however, do a better job of promoting some of the services available. We could also maybe offer a better way for students to provide feedback or get questions answered about technology.
