Live Webinar: Lecture Capture's Impact on Undergraduate Learning, Satisfaction and Retention

MADISON, Wis. - November 15, 2010 

The digital revolution has ushered in a generation shaped by the integration of technology into everyday life. While research abounds on how this generation uses technology, research and reflection on the effective integration of technology into our learning environments is still sparse. Pioneers in both the use and the evaluation of educational technologies, Drs. Pamela and William Havice, professors at Clemson University, seek to fill that gap.

Join Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management for a live webinar with the Havice's as they present their latest research.

WHEN: Tuesday, November 16; 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. CST (convert to your time zone)

The Havice's completed a study that analyzed how a distributed learning environment - with lecture capture by Mediasite at its core - affected the satisfaction and engagement of traditional, face-to-face undergraduate students enrolled in a research project course.

Did the students really like the distributed learning environment? Were they more engaged? Did the students feel that lecture capture assisted them in their learning? The Havice's will answer these questions and share their findings, including:

• What impact the distributed learning environment with lecture capture had on students' satisfaction
• How the lecture capture course modules help students stay engaged in the material
• How the distributed learning environment impacted student behavior during face-to-face class time
• Why a constructivist learning environment (laying out the resources through lecture capture and letting student's build their own knowledge) promoted self-motivation and deeper engagement
