Abstract
The use of video-recorded lectures in academic environments is currently being debated in the literature and is a key issue at recent conferences. This article describes an experience in which students were actively involved as partners in the process of lecture recording, and also offers some reflections about software functionalities and the connected learning experience. The experience is based on the hypothesis that the collaboration and involvement characterising the Student Voice concept can strengthen motivation, enhance learning, and support the development of transversal skills and competencies. In lieu of generalizable outcomes, the analysis of the experience highlights some reference points that may prove useful guidance for future partnerships. This could help to enrich the learning process and generate benefits for various institutional stakeholders in terms of analysis and testing of technological tools suitable for a specific context.
