44. “Things liked about the module” – free text answer “Audio files on VITAL” “Online video and audio support provided extremely valuable support in revision for exams especially as learning abilities demanded different forms of media.” “Recorded lectures helped if you missed something“ 14
45. Student Feedback Email feedback “I just thought I'd let you know that your recorded lecture really helped me today!” 3rd year student – Chemical Databases “The lecture screencasts are brilliant, thanks!” 3rd year student – Organic Chemistry (distance learner) “Just to let you know that I have been using your screencasts and find them really useful.” 3rd year student – Organic Chemistry (distance learner) “One word. Brilliant!” 3rd year student – Organic Chemistry (distance learner) “I've just put lecture 1 on my phone … it's brilliant! Do you think the other lecturers will follow suit? It would help us all immensely.” 3rd year student – Organic Chemistry (distance learner) I just thought I'd let you know that your recorded lecture really helped me today! I'd spent about an hour trying to figure out how to insert an "L" in question 3 for this weeks assignment, I couldn't figure it out from the notes, then remembered you'd recorded the lecture! I could only get audio but I got what I was looking for! Thanks! 3rd year student – Chemical Databases “The lecture recordings are brilliant, thanks!” “The recorded lecture really helped me.” “The recordings are really useful.” “I just watch the sections I am having difficulty with - probably making notes.” “I watched all of the recording for a missed lecture, and made notes. For revision – I skipped to relevant parts.” “I used the recordings for revision.” “I watched several bits on sections I did not understand and made notes.” “Generally I go to relevant part or recording - sometimes listening to those bits more than once.” “The recordings are very useful as I can go back over the material - would be very useful in most modules”.
