In this study, online media is used to refer to three different e-learning systems, namely online video, online audio and online audio+screen capture: • Online video lecturing is used to refer to the recording and subsequent broadcasting of lectures in a video format and published online to an online video medium such as YouTube, iTunesU and UNSWTV • Online audio lecturing is used to refer to the recording and subsequent broadcasting of lecture in an audio format that can be accessed online. This includes audio recordings in Lectopia (formerly iLecture). • Online audio+screen capture is used to refer to the audio recording of the lecture accompanied with screen capture that can be accessed online. Screen capture is a tool that captures everything displayed on your computer screen such as powerpoint slides, web sites etc, and presents the captured data in-sync with the audio recording.
