Lecture Capture – evidence of increasing usage





During 2011, the Learntech team coordinated the development of a case study which showed how lecture capture had been enhanced though the use of Panopto. This is available to view on the Panopto website.
It is interesting to note that since the Spt 2010 – Oct 2011 pilot the amount of usage has increased from:
  • 21 modules using Panopto up to 146 modules
  • 87 recordings up to 393
  • 26 hours of recording up to over 150 hours
  • 738 individual views up to 1779 views
  • 10 hours of viewing up to 183 hours
(Figures taken on 15th March 2011)
We are still developing the basic provision within lecture theatres to include web cameras to allow for regular capture (in response to staff feedback) but are seeing a range of innovative use such as capture of student presentations for external examiners; trials on synchronous display and recording of lectures over multiple venues;  and discussions are underway to allow for the system to capture offsite case studies (offline) – which are then uploaded to Panopto once back on site.
For further information on using Panopto then please contact the team

comment: Lecture capture experience

I have been using Panopto for the last few weeks for capture lectures-slides and audio only. An example is shown below:



It is automatically embedded in the module on the VLE but can also be embedded in web pages as well (see below).

Apart from I don't like hearing my own voice and some minor technical issues with microphones and avoiding student's comments being recorded accidently as far as possible; the only downside so far I have found is it doesn't do live streaming. Could it be use with screen sharing software to get around this? 

How students react to it or use it is yet to be seen as well.
-Do they use it?
-Do they misuse and post it elsewhere without permission?
-Will it mean fewer students at the lecture?
-Do they even like it?
