A study at Coppin State Univeristy in Maryland concluded that presentation recording technology which allows students to view lectures online after the class session can raise course retention rates (reducing dropouts) and improve grades.
This study result is described in an article in Campus Technology Magazine. The study is based on a single classroom deployment of Tegrity, one of the Echo360 competitors. The methodology used was to compare retention and test scores for two cohorts of students taking the same Psychology course material in the same semester from the same instructor, but only one class had recorded lessons available for review. In the study, retention rates increased from 71% to 83% with classes using Tegrity.
As observed in other similar studies, classroom attendance in courses where recorded lessons were available either stayed the same or increased. The most popular time to view recorded lectures? 2am!
