Many universities now record their lectures and post the videos online. Supporters say recordings help students review difficult material and catch up when they are sick. Critics worry that if recordings are always available, students will stop coming to class and miss the chance to ask questions and take part in discussions. Should universities record all lectures and make them available online? Why or why not?

I think every lecture should be recorded. In my statistics class, I often need to hear an explanation two or three times before I understand it. Being able to pause and replay the lecture at home has really improved my grades.

I see the benefits, but I've noticed that when a class is recorded, attendance drops a lot. The professor ends up talking to a half-empty room, and class discussions become much less interesting for the students who do show up.
