Students point out they appreciate the videos, and would prefer all lectures to be recorded. “Students are rather practical. They consider the videos as an extra next to their lectures, Gorissen says. “They don’t consider it a replacement. There aren’t many students who stay home knowing their lecture will be recorded.” Students don’t seem to be able to estimate their own use of the videos, however. In questionnaires and interviews, Gorissen asked them how long and how often they watched the videos, and compared that to their actual use. “It turned out they don’t watch as much of a lecture  as they say they do at all”, says Gorissen.
