Exam-level analysis of lecture capture viewing and student exam performance

Lecture capture (LC) systems offer students flexible review of lecture content, but their impact on learning outcomes remains mixed. LC engagement and exam performance were analyzed in three in-person courses with LC videos posted for review, each with 3 lecture blocks and 3 independent non-cumulative exams. Zoom analytics and exam grade data were collected for 299 students across 982 non-cumulative exam observations. Four LC metrics were derived per exam: total view duration, number of lectures viewed, number of unique views, and days between access and exam. Average exam scores were compared between LC viewers (n = 216) and non-viewers (n=83): LC viewers scored significantly higher than non-viewers (66.1% vs. 59.4%). A linear mixed-effects model with student-level random intercepts showed opposing effects of total viewing time (+1.74% per hour) and number of lectures viewed (–1.92% per lecture), implying that average LC view duration per lecture (total minutes watched ÷ lectures viewe..., , # Data from: Exam-level analysis of lecture capture viewing and student exam performance

## Description of the data and file structure

This study data looks at exam grades of students in 3 different undergraduate courses with in-person lectures, which were recorded on Zoom, and the video was posted for subsequent student review. In each course, there are 3 independent, non-cumulative exams. Zoom analytics data was used to determine if there was any association between student exam grades and their usage of lecture capture recordings
