This research reports on the use of the recorded courses at the University of Geneva by two groups of students: one group was enrolled in the course 74111, that focused on the educational use of technology, and the other was comprised of students from all faculties. The results gathered through a questionnaire survey showed a number of differences between the two groups. These differences can be explained by the specificity of the course 74111 (pedagogical scenario, tutoring, etc.). Extracts from reflexive reports of students of this course and teacher testimonials further clarified the differences between groups. We present “double scripting” (design and appropriation) as a research avenue to explore for the better use of video resources, including in MOOCs.
