What do students see at institutions?

What do students see at institutions?

Understanding learners’ experiences

“If the lecturer’s good at technology then we’ll have technology based learning activities, more materials in the course etc.” “But technology use is patchy.”

“The VLE is mostly a repository for staff lecture notes (Slides).”

“The first thing we do for a module is set up a FB group”

“VLE is for slides and readings lists – the discussions are too hard to find, we chat in FB.”

Arguments in favour of the lecture as a mode of learning describe the ‘exciting, uplifting, even inspirational lectures which linger in the memory’ (Jones, 2007), and it has been argued that even a commonplace lecture carries with it a ‘certain atmosphere’.

The immediacy and the engagement, as a community of learners, with a unique performance ‘rooted in the oral tradition’ (Jones, 2007) cannot be replicated with a recorded lecture.
