Support for Lecture Capture

Techniques to Increase Value

Capturing interaction - On-screen collection

Capturing interaction - Revealing panels

Increasing your recording’s review value

Template slides - Unrecorded Activity - A set of template slides which can be used in a captured lecture to indicate when an unrecorded activity is taking place - group work, break, etc. This increases the reviewability of a recording.

What About… capturing student interaction? - One of the problems lecturers may face when recording their lectures is that the system can generally only capture what the lecturer says and does.

What About… capturing the whiteboard? - Many lecturers regularly use whiteboards (or similar objects). This document suggests some adaptations which could be made to capture things which normally are lost in the recording.

What About… increasing your recording’s review value? - There are a few things a lecturer can do with their PowerPoints to make the recording more useful during review.

What About… recording lectures for re-use? - Although the main use of captured lectures to date is to provide recordings which students can use to aid revision, many lecturers see the use in using recordings multiple times, or even recording specifically to create reusable resources.

Pedagogy, Design and Development

Community Experiences: Aims in adopting lecture capture - A chart showing various aims in adopting lecture capture: Enhance Learning, Change Teaching, Reach Out, and Institutional Development. Suitable for practitioners, staff developers, and managers.

Thinking About Your Practice - This document will assist new lecturers in considering how they, their teaching, or their materials may be affected by lecture capture and what the issues may be for them.

Lecture Capture Planning Sheet - Are you new to lecture capture? Have you heard about it but not yet begun using it? Have you tried it out but aren’t convinced? Try answering these questions for yourself. They can help you identify what most interests you, what you really want to get from the technology, and how you might plan to use it effectively.

Lecture Capture Planning Sheet - Advanced -  These questions are intended for those lecturers who have decided to start using lecture capture, and would like to develop a more purposeful and structured plan for its use. These can be difficult questions to answer, but it is important to be aware of the issues they raise and the potential to change learning design.
