ABSTRACT
Information and Communication Technology can extend the reach of lecturers in time and space. To address factors influencing acceptance of this technology we tracked the relative rates at which university students downloaded simple audio+slide recordings compared to recordings of the videoconferenced versions of the same lecture (video+audio+slide). Tracking statistics indicated that students preferred the recordings of the videoconferenced version. Downloadings were higher for the initial lectures in a topic. Tracking suggests a speaker's video authenticates a recording (if downloaded).

Hand-Eye Camera Calibration with an Optical Tracking System
ICDSC '18: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Distributed Smart CamerasThis paper presents a method for hand-eye camera calibration via an optical tracking system (OTS) faciltating robotic applications. The camera pose cannot be directly tracked via the OTS. Because of this, a transformation matrix between a marker-plate ...
Clickers and formative feedback at university lectures
Lecturing is often criticized for being a monological and student passive way of teaching. However, digital technology such as Student Response Systems (SRS) can be used to reconstruct the traditional lecturing format. During a series of five two-hour ...
