To determine whether digital lectures provide comparable cognitive knowledge outcomes to live lectures and assess student perceptions of digital lecture delivery.
Randomized trial allocating students to attend live lectures at a main campus or view digital lecture recordings at community-based teaching sites (ISRCTN40455708).
Assessed learning outcomes using an identical examination across both cohorts and surveyed the digital group regarding format acceptability.
Exam scores demonstrated no significant differences between the digital and live lecture groups across mean scores or average rank (numerical values not reported).
Students in the digital group overwhelmingly reported that digital lectures could serve as an adequate replacement for live lectures, despite experiencing technical difficulties.
