Lecture recordings have been used for teaching purposes for several years and different ways of distribution have been investigated at the universities in Osnabrueck. A blended learning approach based on lecture recordings has been developed in which the recordings substitute the classroom lectures.

New technological possibilities like easy-to-use video extraction in combination with blog and wiki integration offer ways to overcome these drawbacks. This article describes an improved didactical approach of lecture-recording based learning.
