Ask UWA
From 2012, UWA will be using a new centrally supported Lecture Capture System (LCS).
UWA's LCS captures, stores and publish audio and/or video recordings in a variety of streaming and/or download formats.
Recording is captured, processed and usually ready within 24 hours, via a website or the Learning Management System (LMS).
Lecture attendees can access the recordings 24 hours a day, seven days a week at their own convenience.
Capture formats and delivery
Capture formats
Audio
The audio that is recorded is the same audio that comes through the speakers in the lecture theatre. For example, if you play a CD, video or audio cassette during the lecture, the audio from these devices will be recorded. Similarly the audio from all of the microphones provided is recorded (assuming the microphone is switched on).
Video footage
Video footage captures video footage to accompany the audio recording and provide visual context for students accessing the lectures online.
Screen Capture
Screen capture (or VGA) captures everything on your computer screen during the presentation as you deliver it live. This is a great feature for students as you can capture media such as PowerPoint and websites.
Screen capture is typically the most popular capture format. When you arrive at the lecture venue, simply connect your laptop to the projection system as per normal and turn on a microphone. Screen capture allows you to record projected content such as PowerPoint presentations, web browsing activities and software demonstrations for the convenience of your students.
Visualiser
Visualiser (document camera) uses video from the venue's visualiser/document camera. This means that any 3D objects, photographs, transparencies, sheets of text and other images placed on the visualiser will be recorded for students to access while they listen to the synchronised audio. This recording option is ideal for lectures featuring complex calculations, experiments, and/or images and photographs.
Video
Capturing 'talking-head' video (video of the lecturer actually giving the lecture) is a useful feature particularly when supporting distance learning or multi-campus teaching. The system can be set up to record from a remote video camera or can be managed by LCS team at CATL on a manual basis.
