The document discusses the use of lecture capture in assessing social work students. It provides an overview of assessments in a communication skills unit which includes role play testing of skills followed by an essay. Historically, assessments involved DVDs which had limited time and confidentiality issues when viewed publicly. Formative assessments incorporate practice role plays with peer and tutor feedback, while summative assessments include student participation in feedback. The advantages of lecture capture are highlighted as being flexible, making efficient use of time and resources, providing high quality recordings, aligning with the university strategic plan, eliciting positive student feedback, and maintaining confidentiality with clear boundaries.
