A web lecture is a lecture that’s recorded on campus and available online. You can decide for yourself whether to offer the lecture via a livestream and/or make it available for later viewing.

A web lecture in most cases shows a recorded lecture, often in combination with interactive slides or a blackboard. The lecture recording can be made available afterwards or streamed live for students who cannot attend the live lecture.
