Video linked lectures; students think more about content than the delivery technology when considering attending lectures

Institution; 5 sites across south-west of england Course; Medical
Student numbers; 20 included in study

Technology; video conferencing between sites given by practicing professionals Conclusion; students do consider being in front of a lecturer more interactive, but by far the main considerations are who's giving the lecture and what is it about.

Reference Wang et al (2010) medical students' perceptions of video-linked lectures and video-streaming, alt-j, vol 18, no 1, 19-27

Notes
Many studies in this area, issues include;
-Makes no impact on academic performance [solomon et al 2004, stain et al 2005]
- no evidence of drop in numbers [billings-gagliardi and mazor 2007; mattick, crocker and bgh 2007]
- difference in learning and interaction[carville and michell 2000, knipe and lee 2002]
- staff development [freeman, 1998]
- timetabling pitcher, [davidson and goldfinch 2000]
