How to Send a Recorded Lecture to Students
Send the recording together with a short viewing instruction, not as an unexplained link. Tell students whether it is required catch-up or optional revision, which explanation to focus on and what they should do after watching.
Students need to know what is expected
A video sent after class can be mistaken for new homework or ignored as a duplicate lesson. If the purpose is unclear, some students watch the entire recording unnecessarily while others miss a section they genuinely need to revisit.
Make the delivery clear
Confirm that the saved recording belongs to the intended class and that its title identifies the lesson.
Check playback and add the relevant segment or worked example to your message.
State whether students must watch everything or only review a specific point, and give any completion date.
Provide a short follow-up task and a way to report a playback problem before the next lesson.
Put it into practice
A recording message for catch-up
“Class 10 — Similar triangles. If you were absent, watch the explanation before attempting question 5. If you attended, revisit only the proof you found difficult. Bring one line of the proof that you cannot yet justify.” The message gives different students appropriate work.
Before you share
- Do not confuse a sent notification with proof that students watched or understood the lecture.
- If the recording is temporary, tell students to save needed material while it is available.
How EduVetta helps
With EduVetta, saved lectures can be sent to a batch's Telegram channel through Notify. Students receive the lecture through that channel without an EduVetta account. If Telegram was connected later, Notify again can share earlier saved lectures while their media remains available.
