The information and documentation on this page applies to lecture capture at an institutional level. Managers, heads of department, policy makers, and other decision makers will find the items on this page useful.
Executive Briefings |
|
| These documents are intended for managers, heads of department, and staff developers. They summarize many common issues surrounding the adoption of lecture capture at an institution. | |
 |
Executive Briefing: Lecture Capture - An executive summary of the main issues in implementing lecture capture at an institutional level. Scoping Staff Development for Lecture Capture - A document outlining the main staff development areas for the institutional implementation of lecture capture. |
Business Models |
|
| A short series of resources on the way in which lecture capture can fit into institutional business models. Business models can be combined to provide more comprehensive justifications. | |
 |
Business Model 1: Economies of Scale - In this model institutions need little other than to ensure lectures are captured and distributed. Business Model 2: Economies of Scope - This model assumes that lectures can be repurposed. Business Model 3: Product Differentiation - Provision of a captured lecture service is an easily understood benefit by customers which may influence their choice of university. Business Model 4: Accessibility and Equality - The emphasis here is on social and public value rather than the immediate financial benefits, although these may also be realised. Business Model 5: Leveraging the Assets - “Special” lectures have been captured on video or even film for many years. |
Sector Analysis |
|
| The following documents serve as broad summaries of several topics around lecture capture. They are useful in developing a general understanding of the technology, its potential and its implementation. | |
 |
What About… benefits to institutions? - Adopting lecture capture can be a strategic step by institutions. There are a number of reasons why an institution would implement the technology, and it may benefit in several ways. What About… benefits to students? - A summary of lecture capture’s benefits to students beyond use as a revision tool. What About… benefits to tutors? - For many tutors, the benefits that students get from captured lectures is enough reason to use the technology. However many tutors see a number of practical advantages for themselves as well.

Implementation and Planning |
|
| These resources apply to the implementation stage of adopting lecture capture - who to involve, decision-making, preparing for staff development, and room installation issues. | |
 |
Issues with room installations and delivery What About… A/V support? - Although lecture capture is an easy-to-use tool which does not require extensive training before it can be used, staff generally do need some level of technical support when making recordings. What About… camera choice and installation advice? - We also give some general recommendations regarding a number of issues with camera installation, such as placement and background. What About… cost / benefit considerations? - In order to promote lecture capture at an institutional level, it is necessary to be able to identify benefits and compare this against costs. What About… creating a steering group? - Effective implementation of lecture capture across an institution depends on appropriate management and implementation systems. What About… issues with room lighting? - We give some general recommendations regarding appropriate lighting and solutions to common problems. What About… on-the-ground support issues? - This document condenses some common ‘on-the-ground’ support needs of lecturers and can help staff developers and technical staff prepare for implementing the technology. What About… promoting lecture capture to staff? - This document presents a number of ideas for raising awareness about lecture capture as well as some suggestions for promoting staff engagement. What About… top lecturer questions? - Before lecturers begin capturing, they often have a number of immediate questions about the technology and its abilities, problems they may encounter, and other support issues. What About… unexpected technical and support problems? - Coventry experienced a number of practical restrictions and other effects based on room architecture and unexpected issues. |
