What is Lecture Capture?
• The capture of video, audio, and content (slides / screen capture), or any combination, that makes up a lecture or presentation
• Tutors put up a link to the recording• Students can then play back and jump to
specific sections of the lecture

History
• Using Windows Media Server since 2003. – Live events (e.g. graduation)– Lectures (MS Producer)
• 2006+ interest in dedicated lecture capture systems. Looked at Mediasite.

Drivers to change
• Business continuity• Successful bid to L&T fund for money– Software installation & maintenance– Microphones in teaching rooms– Small number of cameras
• Support from PVC Learning & Teaching

Student Perceptions 3Gareth Hall “Students’ learning experience with Panopto Coursecast at Aberystwyth University”
• “I do accounting and sometimes you go through a number of examples and write them down (…) they go so fast it is nice to look back and actually hear what the numbers mean (…) when you put the lecture capture on you can hear what she was saying ‘cos you can’t really write your notes and numbers at the same time” [Focus group 1, line 177-183]
• “You get too much information in lectures (…) but they’re saying a lot of stuff that is not on the powerpoints. So you have to get the powerpoint and get what they’re trying to say in one lecture. It just doesn’t work. So if you listen to it [the lecture] afterwards you can go over it and over it and understand more what they’re trying to tell you …” [Focus group 7, lines 80-84]
• “…when you go back to revise [from Panopto] then its good to have a starting point (…) because if you can’t remember what’s happened in a lecture and you jump straight into a book, sometimes it goes straight off your head, so it’s good to start with something” [Focus group 1, lines 226-229]
• “it’s not a substitute, I don’t think, it’s an extra resource but certainly not a substitute for going in and actually being in lecture, even if it is pre-recorded...” [Focus group 1, lines 532-534]
