Enhancing Education with Lecture Capture at the University of York
This presentation from the University of York’s E-Learning Development Team on November 6, 2012, explores the timetabled lecture capture system. It covers the capabilities of supported venues, including audio and visual recording of lectures via provided microphones and the presenter’s PC screen. The session includes a live demonstration of the EchoCenter tool for publishing captured lectures and personal capture applications that empower faculty to produce their content. Key aspects such as venue locations, microphone options, and how to get involved are discussed, promoting effective e-learning practices.

Timetabled/Scheduled lecture capture • What is captured (in a supported venue)? • Whatever is showing on the screen of the lectern PC • There is currently no provision for using a laptop • The presenter’s voice (via a provided microphone) • Live example of publish (demo using EchoCenter) : • Language & Psychology (Education Department) • Publishing options (demo): • E-mail • EchoCenter • Links • Editing an Echo/the Echo admin interface
Supported venues • Currently supported rooms (for 2012/13): • Alcuin East Wing: AEW/003, AEW/004, AEW/102, AEW/105 • Alcuin SeebohmRowntree: ATB/057, ATB/056 & 057 (combined) • Biology: B/B/002 • Berrick Saul: BS/005 (Bowland Theatre) • Derwent: D/056 • Langwith: L/047, L/N/028 (Hendrix Hall) • Law & Management: LMB/002A, LMB/002A & 002 (combined) • Physics: P/L/002, P/X/001 • Psychology: PS/B/020, PS/C/003 • Vanbrugh: V/045 • Wentworth: W/222 • Microphones: • There are two types of microphone used across the above venues; a USB microphone and a (radio) lapel microphone (AV Supported)
Timetabled lecture capture – Getting involved • In the first instance contact your departmental administratorwith your request • Your request will then ultimately be put to Timetabling for scheduling • Once timetabled the ELDT will get back to you to confirm details for publishing your captures • Webpage supporting Timetabled capture: • https://www.york.ac.uk/staff/teaching/key-areas/digitalrecordingoflectures/timetabledlectures/ • Guide to information needed: • https://vle.york.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/xid-4061045_4
Personal capture – What it is/does • Personal Capture is an application you install on your computer locally • Note that you can’t easily install it on a lectern PC and may need your DCO to help you with a supported computer • It records your computer screen and audio (if you have a microphone attached). It can also record you physically if a camera/web-camera is attached • It is manually engaged/disengaged by you and is targeted at recording while sat at your desk
Personal capture – Publishing and getting • Personal Capture allows publish in exactly the same way as Timetabled capture • You specify where to publish to after you have captured • You can also (destructively) edit from the app • Support webpage: • https://www.york.ac.uk/staff/teaching/key-areas/digitalrecordingoflectures/personalcapture/ • Document of information needed (by the ELDT) forrequesting a Personal Capture license: • https://vle.york.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/xid-4060282_4 • Demonstration of Personal Capture
Benefits of personal capture • Staff • Screen, audio and webcam (*optional) • No wait for production and publishing • Increased personalisation of online content • Visual explanation of threshold concepts • Simple production, editing and publication • Students • Control playback • Suit different learning styles • Personalise DL
How is personal capture being used? • Languages and Linguistics, Comp Sci, Education, CELT, Chemistry, HYMS, Biology • Ad hoc or reusable learning objects • Distance learning • Scene setting (start of course, week etc.) • Feedback / exemplars • “How to” reference videos • Lecture supplements (issues arising) • The “flipped” classroom • Prepare for face to face • Built in interactivity
Considerations for creating personal captures • Personal capture or screencasting? • How will they fit with F2f / other resources and activities? • Consider potential for reuse • Production values (“good enough”) • Will students know what to do with them? Overview and ideas: http://goo.gl/JU5Xs
