If I read this as a cynic then I read it as saying that the primary benefit of lecture capture for students is that they do not have to go to the lecture. Why? As the authors state, "students do not always optimally select content to review, nor do they make the most of specific functions... students value lecture capture highly, but do not access it extensively during the teaching period." And in this paper they describe a number of attempts to change that, such as captions, transcripts, and email reminders, but these had little effect on use. Now of course this is just one study with a limited number of participants, but the results do seem consistent with other studies cited in the paper.
