Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused university classes around the world to move from in-person classes to online instruction for the first time. Many instructors recorded their online lectures for asynchronous learning while others offered recordings of synchronous lectures. At North Carolina State University, the return to in-person classes meant more recording options for instructors. Recording capabilities were expanded to most classrooms on campus with instructors being able to opt-out of the recordings or limit student access to recordings. The current study tracks student opinions and views of recorded lectures for a face-to-face undergraduate engineering course after the return of in-person lectures. Thermodynamics I is taught in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department for sophomore MAE students and for students in other engineering disciplines. The course was taught in-person for the first time since the pandemic began in the fall of 2021. Student attendance was not required and all students were given access to the recorded lectures. After each exam, students were asked if they had watched the recorded lectures. This data has been analyzed along with data from the university’s video management system to determine how students utilize recorded lectures.
