Learning in large lecture halls has benefits and setbacks. Common concerns among students are the speed at which professors teach, and trying to remember all of the content.
In 2011, San Diego State University began to use Mediasite — a schedule-based capture program for recording, archiving and live streaming lectures — to lessen this burden.
“Mediasite is web-based and fully integrated with Blackboard” said James Frazee, director of instructional technology services and senior academic technology officer at SDSU.
