Lecture recording service – usage this year

The numbers have been crunched, the results are in.  We’ve had record usage of our lecture recording service by our staff and students this year!

We’ve had a whopping 40,160 recordings created since June 2024 and a massive 28,945,731 minutes of lectures watched in the same time frame. Of course, our lecture recording service is used to record more than just lectures, staff can record other types of activities by opting in using our recording scheduler or by running adhoc recordings.

We don’t have access to the same data prior to 2020-21 but we can see that our annual number of recordings were around 31K pre-pandemic (2019-20). There was a huge dip during the worst part of the pandemic where our use of Media Hopper Create (our Media Platform) shot up massively.  Now our activity recordings are huge, and although the use of Media Hopper Create has reduced, we are still far above our pre-pandemic usage so it’s clear that staff (and students) at the University are using more media.  More from me about our services later!
