Conclusions: Students who had a consistent pattern of high lecture attendance had higher exam scores than students who had low to intermediate or no attendance but had access to the same course material online.
<h3>Background:</h3>
Rather of attending lectures, students may now watch online lecture recordings. However, there is little data on the proportion of students who attend lectures, attendance patterns, or eventual learning results. Attendance data was utilized to compare learning results of children with varying attendance patterns to investigate this problem.
<h3>Methods: </h3>
A retrospective observational study was conducted utilizing data from the Medical Pharmacology course in Fall 2013 (197 students) and Fall 2014. (207 students). Each semester, attendance was tracked at 13 of 40 lectures using an audience response system. Using lecture capture, all lectures were recorded, and students may attend lectures or examine online recordings and PowerPoint slides as wanted. Exam averages of students in various attendance groups were compared, as well as the frequency distribution of exam scores in various attendance categories.
<h3>Results: </h3>
During the study period, 12-14% of students had a steady pattern of high attendance at monitored lectures, 35-46% had an inconsistent pattern of low to moderate attendance, and 41-52% did not attend any monitored lectures.
