Usage pattern of on-demand type learning content as alternative materials to the face-to-face classes in engineering subjects for undergraduates was reported. The learning content was simply made by recording screen images of the video projector and the explanative voices of the teacher in the classroom during the lesson in video files. The recorded files were provided on the learning management system as the streaming content to the students who had been absent from the face-to-face class. Approximately a quarter of registered students took on-demand lessons once or twice throughout one semester. The most common reason for absence from the face-to-face class was bad health, whereas direct reasons due to COVID-19, such as side effects of the vaccine or being in close contact with an infectious disease patient, were small. These facts suggest that the necessity of providing on-demand type content should be considered from the perspective of supplementing the absence of face-to-face classes rather than correspondence to the COVID-19 situation.
