Rathner, Khammy, McCarty: Understanding the value of lecture transcripts from a students' perspective – Concluded

We're inviting Bachelor of Biomedicine students to participate in our research.

Welcome to our research project investigating the role of lecture transcripts in university learning. As higher education increasingly embraces online and asynchronous learning, we're exploring how students use and perceive both lecturer-provided and AI-generated transcripts.

Our study aims to:

  • Understand how transcripts affect student engagement and learning outcomes
  • Explore differences in transcript use across different years of study
  • Examine how the shift to asynchronous learning influences transcript utilization

Your participation will help shape the future of educational resources and practices at our university.
