Abstract
Many universities record the lectures being held in their facilities to preserve knowledge and to make it available to their students and, at least for some universities and classes, to the broad public. The way with the least effort is to record the whole lecture, which in our case usually is 90 min long. This saves the labor and time of cutting and rearranging lectures scenes to provide short learning videos as known from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), etc. Many lecturers fear that recording their lectures and providing them via an online platform might lead to less participation in the actual lecture. Also, many teachers fear that the lecture recordings are not used with the same focus and dedication as lectures in a lecture hall. In this work, we show that in our experience, full lectures have an average watching duration of just a few minutes and explain the reasons for that and why, in most cases, teachers do not have to worry about that.
