I’m not a university educator, but I do listen to university students for dozens of hours a week.

I work with a lot of university students, none of them are watching recorded lectures. Maybe they’re reading the transcripts, maybe not. Live is a pain in the ass, but I think it’s more educational. You have no idea how boring those recorded lectures are.
