Although a wide body of research on school violence exists, much of the work is concentrated within westernized contexts, particularly within the American context, and is focused on the types of violent behaviours exhibited, the causes of the behaviour, and solutions to reduce the behaviours. Within the local context, research has identified root causes of school violence and possible solutions. These local studies neither purposely focus on the unmet needs of the secondary victims of school violence nor devise programmes to address the needs of this group of victims.

Lecture Capture Systems such as Sonic Foundry’s Mediasite have become a focal point for administrators and they have quickly become a tangible means of delivering content asynchronously to support student learning outside of the classroom. This action research study discusses the findings and lessons learnt from the first phase of a semester-long pilot of a partially flipped mode of instruction at a tertiary level institution in Trinidad and Tobago.
