Over the Summer, we secured funding for two lecture capture projects… Picture this – creating resources to support the engagement of campus-based students. This project is supported by the Alumni fund Through the glass darkly – creating resources to support the engagement of distance learning students. This project is supported by Echo 360 In both cases,Read more
(REPOSTED from August 10) The University now has a 100-user volume licence for Camtasia Studio 7, the screen recording application. This has been purchased with the support of the University’s Distance Learning Fund through a CHEST agreement (which makes certain software packages much cheaper for Higher Education). Under this agreement, the 100-user licence will beRead more

…but not, we hope, the lecturer! Automated video lecture capture is perhaps the fastest growing area of learning technology within Higher Education, and it’s a technology that after a year’s piloting is now becoming embedded in the mainstream at Loughborough. By the start of Semester 1 we’ll have 10 teaching rooms equipped with fixed lecture captureRead more

I attended a very timely lecture capture event yesterday organised by my ex-colleague Juliet Hinrichsen at Coventry in support of their JISC ELTAC project. The focus of the event, attended by representatives of some of the institutions that have really scaled up their use of automated lecture capture (LSE, Newcastle, Birmingham), was on staff developmentRead more
Just been working with another academic (Lara Alcock, from MEC) on the use of Camtasia to pre-record a lecture to be made available on Learn. There is increasing demand from academic colleagues for support in the use of screen recording applications, with Camtasia and Captivate (the Adobe alternative) being the most popular. I’m a realRead more

Across UK HE the system has nowRead more
