Masterclass 2: Schedule

Using lecture capture systems

  • Mark Childs, Imran Ali: Coventry University
  • Nigel Thomas: Aberystwyth University

Watch this presentation: link to Echo360 capture

This Masterclass demonstrates the use of a lecture capture system for the capture of lectures, presentations and seminars. One of the systems in use at Coventry University is the Echo 360 system, which the presenters have used as part of the JISC-funded ELTAC project.

Lecture capture systems enable the automated capturing of presentations; this can include capturing the video and audio of the presenter along with their powerpoint. Once presentations are captured they are automatically saved, compressed and ready for distribution. The system can also automatically populate supported virtual learning environments. These files can be viewed a variety of formats, which includes podcast and enhanced podcast on a variety of portable devices..

This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to see the remote capturing of a short presentation, they will then be able to download these to a mobile devices. Both the technical and pedagogical implications of this technology will be explored.

This workshop is aimed at any teaching or technical support practitioner who is a beginner in using lecture capture technology, or has yet to use the technology. If you're interested in lecture capture and don’t know which one to pick, or are in an institution that has such technology but are yet to get to grips with it, then this Masterclass is for you.
